Low Pressure Pattern Helps Camp Creek Fire Effort

Officials on the Camp Creek Fire in the Mt. Hood National Forest northeast of Sandy near the Bull Run Watershed say higher humidity and rainfall have helped moderate fire spread, but the fire continues to burn steadily inside thick canopies of trees.  Great Basin Incident Management Team 1 Commander Evans Kuo told a community meeting in Corbett on Tuesday evening that the current weather patterns are helping firefighters, even though there are some east winds forecast later in the week.  Operations Section Chief Issac Powning did emphasize that even with some moisture in the area, the fire is burning actively.  Size of the fire has increased to 1,969 acres, with no containment figure.
