County Line 2 Fire Containment At 67 Percent

The County Line 2 Fire on the Warm Springs Reservation is now 67 percent contained, having burned 65,078 acres.  Strong winds in the fire area have subsided, with no major increase in the fire size due to effective operations ahead of and during the wind event.  Minimal growth is expected on the north edge of the fire.  Infrared shows heat remaining in the canyons.  Additional growth is expected on the west flank in one canyon and the smaller drainages that surround it.  Northwest winds could make containment difficult, as it pushes the fire towards the containment line being built ahead of the fire.  A review of damages and losses of residences and out- buildings/structures has shown this fire burned two occupied homes and one vacant home, one occupied home was damaged beyond repair, and four abandoned homes and one vacant house were lightly damaged.  There were a total of twenty-three out-building structures burned.
