Camp Creek Fire Containment At 16%

Containment of the Camp Creek Fire in the Mount Hood National Forest near the Bull Run Watershed has been increased to 16%.  Size of the fire remains at 1,902 acres, as rainfall on Sunday slowed the growth and rate of fire spread.  Warmer and drier conditions are expected for the remainder of the week, which may increase fire activity.  But Operations Section Chief Matt Call says it will also allow crews to carry out firing operations that have been hampered by the wet weather.  The fire is burning in heavy, dry fuels such as deep duff, rotten logs, and timber litter under a dense canopy.  Current fire behavior includes widespread smoldering and creeping which will continue due to long term seasonal drying.
