Bull Complex Less Active On Monday

The Bull Complex Fire twelve miles northeast of Detroit on the Mount Hood National Forest was much less active on Monday and grew just under 350 acres as temperatures moderated in the high 60s and relative humidity increased to the high 30s.  Officials said all five helicopters assigned to the fire were flying Monday and engaged in water bucket drops on the fire, aiding ground resources in improving containment of the fire and in limiting the spread.  On the eastern side of the fire, firefighters continue to successfully improve their pre-identified containment lines and fire growth has been dampened on the east and northeast sides of the fire.  Additional crews and equipment are expected to arrive on the incident and will aid in improving fire lines on the fire.  The fire was expected to be less active today with cool and humid weather.  Due to the fire growth from Sunday on the southeast side of the fire that crossed Forest Road 4696 near the Willamette National Forest boundary the Marion County Sheriff’s office issued a Level 1 “Be Ready” evacuation advisory only for Breitenbush Hot Springs.
