Dry Creek Fire Containment Level Now 94%

Containment of the Dry Creek Fire north of BZ Corners is now at 94 percent, as a full transfer of command of the fire from a Northwest Incident Management Team to a local Washington team took place this morning.  Activities on the fire line will continue to focus on mop up and completing the remaining tasks to secure this fire within its existing perimeter.  Highway 141 is open without restrictions, but motorists are strongly advised to reduce speeds and be vigilant for firefighters and equipment as they pass through the fire area between mileposts 14 and 17.  Officials say people passing by could still see some smoke within the fire perimeter.  Fire crews are monitoring any remaining hot spots.  The fire that started on July 8 burned 337 acres, and the cause remains under investigation.
