Cool and humid conditions continue to aid suppression efforts on the Rum Creek Fire, in Josephine County.
An update said the fire is holding at 83 percent containment on 21,347 acres, with no new growth.
Crews continue to be downsized with 330 people remaining. Unsettled weather will continue for several days bringing higher humidity levels and scattered showers. Wind gusts of up to 22 miles per hour are expected for upper slopes and ridges. Isolated lightening levels in the forecast are not expected to start fires, but could bring rain levels strong enough to wash soils, provide stability in burned areas and be a safety concern for the public and fire crews within the fire perimeter. Crews will focus on suppression, mop up patrol, rehab/repair and hazard tree mitigation.
A Type 3 Incident Management Team will assume command of the fire on Tuesday morning.
