Around 4:00 p.m. on August 11, Texas A&M Forest Service received a request for assistance on a fire burning 2 miles North of Olney in Archer County, Texas. The fire is burning in juniper shrub and grass fuels.

Crews on the Campbell Fire have made good progress with extensive mop up operations working 60 feet in off of the containment line, removing all heat along that area. Additional patrolling took place throughout the day to find any other smoke.

A type 2 incident management team was brought in to take over the management of the fire and bring in more resources to combat it.

Resources will continue to patrol and mop up through the end of shift tomorrow and if nothing if the fire looks good it be handed back over to the local responders to monitor over the next few days.
