Cottage Grove – Lane 1 Fire Daily Update – Friday, August 9, 2024 

The Cottage Grove – Lane 1 Fire is a total of 18,498 acres and considered 9% contained. Percent containment represents sections of fire line that pose no escape risk without further action from firefighters. There are currently 1293 personnel assigned to the incident.   

A Level 3 evacuation notice for the Bohemia Mining District and Fairview Peak has been issued by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. The Level 3 evacuation was recommended by fire officials with the North Carolina Team. 

  The fire’s progress continues to be slow and steady. We’ve asked residents of the Bohemia Mining District to evacuate as a proactive measure.  This allows adequate time for residents to leave and for firefighters to bring in their equipment and conduct strategic firing and other operations. The Noonday Road in and out of the Bohemia Mining District is very rough and does not allow quick ingress or egress. 

Brice Creek/Disston Level 1 evacuation remains in place.
