Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, crews from Glide Rural Fire Protection District and Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) responded to an estimated 2–3-acre fire located in slash and timber, about 9 miles southeast of Glide in the Thunder Mountain area.

Fire suppression responders engaged in an initial attack with a tender, dozer, and several engines as additional resources were en route.

The spread of the fire was stopped thanks to the successful and aggressive initial attack of responding firefighters, DFPA said.

80% of the fire had been lined and plumbed Wednesday evening and was expected to be 100% no later than midnight.

Glide Rural was released from the fire with DFPA remaining on scene until 100% of lining and plumbing was achieved.

DFPA crews continued with early morning mop-up until the fire was cleared.

There were no structures or homes threatened.

The cause is under investigation.

We would like to take this time to remind everyone that stopping wildfires starts with you.

Homeowners and landowners choosing to burn are reminded that they can be liable for fire suppression costs and associated damages if their burn escapes containment. If residents choose to burn debris piles, a fire trail should be constructed around the pile before ignition begins.

Fire tools and water should also be on site while the burn is taking place and a responsible adult should stay with the burn until it is completely extinguished. Fire officials also ask those who have burned debris piles this past winter or spring to check the burned area to ensure that the pile is completely out.

If not properly extinguished, burn piles can smolder for weeks or even months before popping back to life on a warm, windy day.
