Crews Build Line Around Dry Creek Fire; Highway 141 Open With Pilot Car

Crews on the Dry Creek Fire have finished building line around the entire fire and held previously built line.  Better mapping after an infrared heat sensing flight over the fire north of BZ Corners revised the amount of acreage burned to 322.  The containment level has edged up to 15 percent, but full containment is not projected until July 24.  Operations today will focus on securing fire line, cooling scattered heat spots, and mopping up from the outer edges of the fire into the interior.  Thousands of feet of hose line will need to be plumbed to accomplish these tasks.  Highway 141 has been reopened, with a pilot car in operation north of BZ Corners between mile marker fourteen and mile marker seventeen.  The Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office closure of recreational access to the White Salmon River from BZ Corner Boat Launch north to Warner Road and Sunnyside Road is still in effect.  All evacuation notice levels are still in effect.
