Active firefighting has concluded on the Boulder Fire, but there are tasks that must be completed before management of the incident is returned to the Mt. Hood National Forest. Northwest Team 10 Operations Section Chief Bert Thayer says Thursday was a day of transition as they send some firefighters back home to their units. Suppression repair continues to take place, and fire managers have assigned some of the remaining crews to do this work, returning disturbed areas to as natural a state as practical. The Boulder Fire burned 233 acres near Boulder Lake Trailhead in the Barlow Ranger District.
