The Oregon Department of Forestry says the Sevenmile Hill Fire is now at 50% containment after burning roughly 100 acres Wednesday evening.  ODF says today firefighters are looking to secure to secure Sevenmile Hill Road and place it in patrol statut.  That will require gridding the fire for hot spots, with significant work in the areas of scrub oak and brush.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office has reduced a Level 3 evacuation advisory in the area of the fire to Level 1.  The Sheriff’s Office announced that those living on Sevenmile Hill Road along Chenoweth Road to the Brownscreek Road intersection to include Oak Hill Drive and McDonald Way can return to their homes, but are encouraged to stay alert in case of a change in weather or fire conditions.  A Level 2 advisory for Brownscreek Road to the 4500 block of Cherry Heights Road was fully lifted.  Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill credited ranchers and landowners in the area for assisting in fire suppression and help in quick containment.  At this time, the cause of the fire is yet to be determined and is under investigation.  Any citizen that has information on the fire is encouraged to call 541-296-4626.  Please continue to stay out of the area to allow crews to continue work.
