Size of the Indian Creek Fire in the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness remains at 74 acres, and has not shown signs of growth for several days.  Dropping water from the Type 1 Chinook helicopter, up to 92,000 gallons a day, has raised the humidity and fuel moisture in the fire area, slowing the fire’s growth.  The 20-person Gifford Pinchot National Forest Type 2 Initial Attack crew is observing the fire and conducting reconnaissance for areas where fireline can safely and effectively be constructed.  Because of the difficult terrain and limited control options, this fire is expected to burn for a long period of time before it is controlled.  The Mt. Hood National Forest expanded the trail and area closure in place for the area surrounding the fire.  It now includes Eagle Creek Trail #440 from the boundary with the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness (to the north) to its terminus at the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail.  Also closed are the adjacent trails Eagle Benson #434, Indian Springs Trail #432, Eagle Tanner Trail #433, Chinidere Cutoff Trail #406M, and Tanner Butte Trail #401.  Forest Service Road 1310 is closed east of the junctions with the 1311 to its terminus at Wahtum Lake.  Tunnel Falls and the Wahtum and Indian Springs Campgrounds are closed.  The Pacific Crest Trail, Punch Bowl Falls and High Bridge remain open.
