Aubrey Mountain Fire now 50% contained as traffic delays persist on Hwy 58

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Aubrey Mountain Fire is stalling traffic Friday afternoon on Highway 58 near Oakridge, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.

The fire, located between milepost 37 and Dunning Road on the Middle Ford Ranger district, is now 50% contained at 35 acres burning, the USDA Forest Service said in a Friday night update.

The fire, the cause of which is still under investigation, is burning timber on steep ground, USDA FS officials said. Crews are currently mopping up and it will continue through tomorrow.
