The Mt. Hood National Forest is planning prescribed fire operations over the next few weeks, as weather conditions allow.  Forest officials say they will use prescribed fires to help reduce overgrown vegetation and protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.  Prescribed fire is planned for about 900 acres in an area five miles west of Wamic off Forest Road 48 as early as Tuesday if conditions are favorable.  Fire personnel are initially planning to burn up to 100 acres in the Camp Cody burn unit and will continue into the Irrigation burn unit if weather allows. The Rock Creek prescribed fire project encompasses 1,554 acres and is part of the Rocky Restoration Project.  The Rocky Restoration Project is intended to improve landscape resilience to disease and fire in addition to improving habitat for the plants, fish, and wildlife species that depend on it.
