Containment of the Cougar Creek fire along its southern flank north of Glenwood has been achieved and there is now minimal fire activity in that area. Klickitat County Emergency Management this morning rescinded the level 1 evacuation advisory that was in place for residents of Glenwood north of Ladiges Road. The fire has burned 35,000 acres and is listed as 15 percent contained overall. In spite of very active fire behavior and short range spotting in a number of areas, there was minimal spread of the fire Monday. Crews worked into the early morning hours to control spot fires and made good progress with implementing the plan to increase containment around the upper east flank. An extensive effort is still needed to secure the head of the fire as it moves northward, and fire managers say burnout operations are progressing well and will continue for the rest of the week. Residents should expect to see significant smoke in the vicinity and in adjacent areas as burnout operations occur. It is possible that the fire will move into large piles of slash and may produce significant amounts of smoke as it does. A community meeting is scheduled for this evening at 6:00 p.m. in the Glenwood School gymnasium. The Gifford Pinchot National Forest has closed the Mount Adams Wilderness Area, including the portion of the Pacific Crest Trail that runs through the Wilderness Area, until October 30 or until rescinded.
