Air resources were again used on Monday to slow the spread of spot fires in the area east of the main Fir Mountain Fire southeast of Hood River along the Hood River/Wasco county line while winds and humidity challenged firefighters on the ground.  Wind blowing embers outside the fireline ignite dry fuels and kept crews and equipment busy.  Oregon Department of Forestry spokesperson Christie Shaw said fire operations worked with the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office to determine the need for a Level 3 evacuation for three residences on Godberson Road…but added it is not due to fire growth.  A Level 1 “be ready” evacuation advisory was issued for other residences on the eastern flank of the fire…from 3475 Mosier Creek Road to 3950 Mosier Creek Road, and to one mile south of 8020 Ketchum Road to 2000 Ketchum Road.  Total fire size is now estimated to be 200 acres and five percent contained.  Spot fires between the main fire and Godberson Road range in size from a quarter-acre to nearly ten.  Crews were successful in minimizing growth of the spotfires using heavy equipment and hand crews in coordination with aerial support.  Hoselays were constructed to disburse water throughout the fire area for mop-up and to extinguish hot spots and fire outside the fire line.  Heavy fuels are hampering efforts to extinguish the fire, secure the line, and mop-up the interior.  The fire that was reported late Saturday night and its cause remains under investigation.
