KLCC s Rachael McDonald reports on recreation areas near Roseburg still closed from the 2020 Archie Creek Fire.
The Archie Creek fire burned more than 130 thousand acres along the well-loved North Umpqua River. Cheyne Rossbach is with the Bureau of Land Management Roseburg District. He said the agency is still clearing hazard trees and debris to make recreation areas safer.
“People think, oh it’s rained so much out here, obviously, the fire’s out,” Rossbach said. “Not necessarily. You can have burning that burns under the roots and put a foot through in the hot spot still. That’s still a possibility.”
