Crews Battled Dads Creek Fire Sunday Night

(DFPA) The Douglas Forest Protective Association responded to a natural cover fire Sunday evening, located about six miles west of Glendale near the intersection of Cow Creek Road and Dad’s Creek. Crews arrived on scene of the Dad’s Creek Fire around 9:00 PM and estimated that the fire was about a half acre in size and slowly backing down the hill between Cow Creek Road and the railroad tracks. An aggressive initial attack, consisting of eight engines and 25 firefighters, stopped the forward spread of the Dad’s Creek Fire at approximately one acre of wildland fuels. Crews remained on scene of the fire for about four hours, mopping up hot spots and securing control lines. The cause of the Dad’s Creek Fire is currently under investigation.
