Fire Near Mitchell Point

Crews are dealing with a fire that started overnight near Mitchell Point.  The Oregon Department of Forestry estimated the fire is less than one acre in size.  It is burning on steep terrain not far from the footprint of last year’s Eagle Creek Fire.  Spread of the fire has been stopped.  Two ODF engines responded to the fire along with a pair of engines from the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and an engine each from the Hood River and Westsde Fire Departments.  Cause of the fire is not yet known.  The Oregon Department of Transportation temporarily closed the right eastbound lane of Interstate 84 in that area as a precaution.
