GLIDE, Ore. Cleanup for the Archie Creek Fire is still underway and county officials said they are making good progress.
In September, the Archie Creek Fire burned 131,542 acres along Highway 138, just outside of Glide. A total of 109 homes were lost.
County officials said they’ve finished phase one of cleanup, which started two months ago when the fire was fully contained. State, federal and county cleanup crews were focused on getting rid of hazardous materials during this phase.
