Hot and dry weather further dried out forest fuels and led to a slight increase in activity on the Whisky Creek Fire in the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness about six miles southeast of Cascade Locks.  Size of the fire went up to 934 acres, with no containment.  Growth has been along the western slope of Wooly Horn Ridge and to the south.  A helicopter dropped water along the northern edge of the fire on Thursday to mitigate any potential flare-ups along the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire area while crews continued to work on containment lines to the south.  Smoke is expected to be visible from Hood River and communities on the Highway 35 corridor.  Fire managers are watching for opportunities to conduct tactical firing operations to remove potential fire fuels and limit fire spread.  A community meeting to provide an update on this fire is scheduled for this evening at 7 p.m. at the Wy’east Fire District station on 3431 Odell Highway in Odell.
