More personnel on Friday were joining the fight against a 25-acre wildfire burning near Crescent Lake. And while firefighters spent the previous night building containment lines, the fire was zero percent contained Friday morning.

Tolo Mountain Fire is burning about three miles north of Cappy Mountain and six miles west of Two Rivers subdivision.  It’s about three miles, as the crow flies, from the Pacific Crest Trail.

Ten smokejumpers initially responded to the fire Thursday morning and were joined by the Prineville Interagency Hotshots, two engines, a 5 person hand crew and a dozer, Central Oregon Fire Information said in a release. Air tankers also supported suppression efforts along with a heavy helicopter that is using Crescent Lake as a water dip site.

“Firefighters worked into the night constructing containment lines where lines of retardant had been laid down by the multiple air tankers working the blaze,” Central Oregon Fire said. “Firefighters have containment lines around most of the fire that was spotting in multiple places yesterday in heavy fuels and high temperatures. Today, crews will hold and begin to secure those lines while monitoring and searching for additional spot fires.”

They will be joined Friday by a 20-person Type 2 hand crew. Any available aircraft may also join the fight.

There are no closures related to the fire. The cause of the fire was not immediately released.
