Progress Continues On Boulder Fire

Fire officials continue to report good progress on the Boulder Fire southeast of Mt. Hood on the Barlow Ranger District near Boulder Lake Trailhead.  The fire is at 234 acres in size with a containment level of 5%.  Northwest Team 10 Operations Chief Josh Riepe says crews have been able to reinforce the line on the western flank of the fire.  Riepe says similar actions were taken on the northern flank of the fire, with water being pumped from Boulder Lake.  Crews continue to build handline on the eastern edge of the fire, and a tie-in to dozer line was being worked on at the south end.  Riepe says they hope to have the fire completely lined in a couple of days.  A community meeting has been scheduled for this evening at 7 p.m. in the Wamic Community Hall and on the Mt. Hood National Forest Facebook page.
