Eagle Creek Fire Activity Remains Minimal

Activity on the Eagle Creek Fire continues to be minimal in the wake of this week’s cooler temperatures and rain.  Fire officials says over the last four days anywhere from 3.5” to 6” of rain fell over the fire area, with heavier rains over the western portion of the fire.  Current activities include resource and condition assessments as well as planning and implementing suppression repair efforts.  Heavy equipment is on site to assist with repair efforts when weather and ground conditions allow.  Handcrews are “low stumping” and cleaning up large woody debris.  Plans include potentially building hand line as a contingency closer to the fire’s eastern edge when it is safe to do so.  There is still live fire on Shellrock Mountain and elsewhere within the fire area.  With incoming warmer and drier weather people should expect to see smokes and fire activity in the coming days.
