Firefighters on Tuesday evening were able to stop the forward progression of a fire southwest of Dufur without losing any structures. The Oregon Department of Forestry says the Winslow Road Fire was estimated at about 950 acres in size. The fire burned a combination of dry fuels, ranging from timber and brush to recently harvested wheatland, and was wind driven by 20 to 30 mile per hour sustained winds gusting to 45 miles per hour, which the ODF says made it fairly difficult to get a line around the fire initially. ODF’s fire bosses along with scoopers and a large air tanker from the Camp Creek Fire helped to assist ground operations in stopping forward progression of the fire. Resources stayed on the fire overnight, and today crews will focus on mopping up the fire to ensure that all hot spots are extinguished. Given the light fuels, the fire will be in patrol status for a couple of days. Crews from ODF, the Mt. Hood National Forest, Tygh Valley, Dufur, Petersburg, Wamic, Dallesport, a task force consisting of units from Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue, Hood River, and Mosier, and local landowers all took part in the firefighting effort.
