Fire Crews Deal With Brush Fire Along I-84 West Of Cascade Locks

Fire crews dealt with a brush fire on Monday night along Interstate 84 west of Cascade Locks.  Cascade Locks Fire and EMS said the fire occurred at milepost 33 west of Dodson near Benson Park.  It was about one-half acre in size.  Fire progression was stopped fairly quickly, with Corbett Fire District 14 and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area crews assisting.  The Oregon Department of Transportation says The Historic Columbia River Highway will remain closed until late today between Oneonta Creek and Multnomah Falls as a result of the fire.  The closure will help the crews in their fire suppression efforts in the brush fire two miles east of Multnomah Falls.  Access to Multnomah Falls remains open from the parking lot at Interstate 84 Exit 31 or when heading east on the Historic Highway from Bridal Veil Exit 28.  Earlier in the day, Hood River fire crews dealt with a small fire near Eliot Park and Indian Creek.
