Big Hollow Fire Containment 40%

Containment of the 24,995-acre Big Hollow Fire on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest is now at 40%.  Scattered rain continued through Saturday evening.  An infrared flight has been ordered to provide an accurate reading on current acreage and help determine where current hotspots are located.  The forest has requested a Burned Area Emergency Response Team that specializes in analyzing post-fire conditions to make an assessment and recommendations for the forest to prevent further problems after the fire.  The Southern Area Incident Management Gray Team that has been in charge of the fire turned command over to a local Type 4 unit today.  One local fire crew and 2 engines will remain to monitor and patrol the fire.
