Crews Look To Contain Fire Along Deep Creek

Crews are looking to contain a fire along Deep Creek west of Shaniko.  According to a Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center spokesperson, numerous resources are being used to get the fire contained.  Size of the fire was estimated this morning at 2,000 acres.  Bakeoven/Shaniko Rural Fire District crews initially responded to the fire, and were assisted by Bureau of Land Management firefighters.  South of the Deep Creek fire and north of the Highway 97/197 junction, another fire that was reported Thursday afternoon has been contained at 840 acres.  The Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center indicated it started to receive reports of fire starts as lightning moved through the Bend area around 4:20 p.m. and moved north toward Shaniko, and crews are continuing to monitor the region for other fire starts.  On the Mount Hood National Forest, there is a small fire north of Timothy Lake.  Forest officials say as of late Thursday afternoon it was six acres in size, with both ground and air resources making good progress in suppressing it.  Campers were evacuated from North Arm Campground and dispersed campsites along the north shore of Timothy Lake.
