Riverside Fire Lines Monitored

Containment for the Riverside Fire on the Mt. Hood National Forest is now at 37%, with 138,029 acres burned.  Firefighters are focused on monitoring firelines, patrolling for heat pockets held in heavy fuels and suppression repair.  Heavy equipment work continues along roads with chippers and masticators to improve existing containment and contingency firelines on the south and west side of the fire.  Potential for 40-45 mile per hour gusts along east-west orientated drainages and Goat Mountain are forecast, so creeping and smoldering fire activity is expected, but significant growth of the fire is not anticipated due to lingering effects of the moisture from the past week.
