Vehicle Fire Near Stevenson Spreads To Surrounding Wildland

A vehicle fire spread into surrounding wildland near Stevenson on Thursday.  The Stevenson Fire Department says its crews and Skamania County’s deputies went to the scene of the fire on the power lines between Red Bluff Road and Blue Lake Road, but their access was delayed by locked gates and rough roads.  When crews arrived on the scene they found the fire had gone into surrounding wildlands, with strong east wind driving it in to multiple slash piles.  The Washington State Department of Natural Resources ordered a helicopter from Dallepsort to make several bucket drops on the fire until more DNR and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area resources arrived on scene.  Stevenson Fire Department noted the fire illustrates the potential for rapid fire spread still exists.
