ODF Type 1 Team Assumes Command of Dry Gulch Fire

Oregon Department of Forestry's Type 1 Incident Management Team will assume command of the fire at noon today. The team is setting up its Incident Command Post and Fire Camp at the Halfway Rodeo Grounds. The team is in the process of bringing in additional resources to relieve several initial attack forces that have been working the fire since its start on Saturday. The team would like to thank the Type 3 organization that has been in place since Sunday morning for all of its hard work and setting us up for success. We look forward to working on behalf of the community and the different agencies and landowners involved.
