Big Hollow Fire Shows Little Movement

The Big Hollow Fire in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest about 15 miles northwest of Carson was remained at 15% containment as of Tuesday morning.  It has burned 24,788 acres, but over the last 24-hours the fire has shown little movement.  Slow creeping along the slope and ridgeline above the Wind River Highway has been observed.  All other portions of the fire are in the patrol and monitor stage, with clean-up still being conducted.  At Government Mineral Springs, where a Level 3 evacuation order remains in effect, fire crews were continuing to patrol and monitor the situation.  Light precipitation is expected over the fire area Tuesday afternoon.  Closure orders on National Forest System lands, roads, and trails within the Mount Adams Ranger District and the Siouxon Block and Merrill Lake Natural Conservation Area remain in effect.
