White River Fire Grows To 2,290 Acres

The White River Fire grew Tuesday to approximately 2,290 acres based on information received late last night.  An update from the management team assigned to the fire said northwest winds were amplified as they aligned with the White River drainage, increasing fire activity and creating embers which flowed downwind and started spot fires in dry vegetation.  The fire moved about 2.5 miles east and southeast staying north of the White River, growing into flatter terrain with less vegetation where there is more opportunity to contain the fire.  Fire managers have reassessed planned containment, dropping the current figure to 5%.  Three new firefighting crews arrived late Tuesday.  A Temporary Flight Restriction is in effect prohibiting people from flying in the area.  A Level 1 evacuation advisory remains in effect for the Sportsman’s Park and Rock Creek areas.
