  6. I see this fire is still listed as an open incident. Can you tell me if this fire is dead cold out, or is it lingering for some further action, please?

      This fire is considered contained. There may continue to be some heat in the interior but the there is no concern that it will escape the perimeter. Hope that answers your question but if you have any other concerns feel free to call us at 541-316-7711.
