Firefighters worked overnight to keep the 17-acre Jones Creek Fire on the edge of Grants Pass contained, and are continuing to mop up the fire and extinguish hot spots amid another round of hot, dry, windy weather today, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Crews installed hoses all around the fire last night and had mopped up 50 feet to 75 feet into the interior as of this morning, said ODF Southwest Oregon District.
