Big Hollow Fire Still Growing

The Big Hollow Fire, 15 miles northwest of Carson grew to 22,153 acres Wednesday. Firefighters suppressed a new start in the Trapper Creek Wilderness that could have threatened containment lines. More personnel and equipment have been added, there are now 367 firefighters, with 10 hand crews, 13 engines, 3 dozers and 1 water tender, along with a helicopter and fixed-wing. Crews are continuing the process of consuming fuels inside the control line. Crews burned a control line east of Road 64 and north of Road 201 to stop fire spread east of the Wind River Highway. There is still a level three evacuation in effect for Government Mineral Springs and level one in Yale, Cougar, Northwoods and parts of Amboy and Yacolt. Containment is now at 15%.
