Crews Mop Up Heritage Landing Fire

Crews are mopping up a fire that started Wednesday south of Heritage Landing along the Deschutes River.  Forest Service spokesperson Katie Santini says the fire, a part of which is on Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs land, has been turned over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for mop up.  The fire burned an estimated 900 acres, and is listed as 85 percent contained.  It started late Wednesday morning, but multiple agencies responded and were able to get a line around the fire, which was down to hot spots by night time.  An air attack with two planes and a helicopter was utilized to help bring the fire under control.  The fire burned in steep ground along a canyon, and high winds caused issues for firefighters in the effort to bring it under control.
