Eagle Creek Fire managers said this morning that firefighters spent a good part of Sunday completing a successful burnout to protect Cascade Locks. The fire is holding at the lower edge of Herman Creek and light winds today are predicted to blow from the east pushing the fire back on itself.  Firefighters will finish mopping up along the northwestern perimeter today near Cascade Locks. In a video briefing on Eagle Creek Fire operations this morning…Operations Chief Rick Miller says reported the most active part of the fire Sunday was in the Cascade Locks area…and there was very little activity to the east and south. Firefighters are almost finished tying together roads and trails to put indirect line from Herman Creek southwest to the southernmost extent of the fire. Heavy smoke obscured a large part of the southern fire perimeter for most of Sunday with preventing the use of aerial resources. With the change in winds today, fire managers should be able to get a clear look at the fire perimeter on the east and south side above the Bull Run Watershed. The change in the winds and sunnier skies will help firefighters find and extinguish any hotspots that may have been smoldering in the low-lying smoke and moist undergrowth for the last several days. Generally, the weather will allow for increased fire behavior but extreme fire behavior is not expected. Size and containment level for the Eagle Creek Fire were unchanged Monday morning…33,382 acres with seven percent containment.  Those numbers did not change all weekend. There are four hotshot crews, 13 Type 2 crews, seven Type 2 initial attack crews, 84 engines, 11 helicopters, 38 dozers, nine water tenders, and 979 personnel assigned to the fire. A community meeting on the fire is scheduled for this evening at 7 p.m. at the Marine Park Pavilion in Cascade Locks. There have been no changes to Hood River County evacuation advisories since Friday. On Friday the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office is made two changes to evacuation advisories. A new Level One advisory area runs from Collins Road in Dee at the south end to I-84 on the north end, and includes all areas west of the following lines: Country Club south to Reed Road, running due south to Hwy. 281, continuing along 281 to milepost 12.5, then following the Middle Fork of the Hood River until it comes parallel with the south end of Collins Road.  Level One means people should be ready for potential evacuation, and should plan for what they might need to take with them. The Sheriff’s Office says no structures are under immediate threat from the fire. A map has been created and will be distributed for zones A4, A5, and A6. The current Level Two evacuation notice area on the north-east half of Cascade Locks is being extended east to Viento State Park, staying along the I-84 corridor, and now includes the Lost Lake Resort area that had previously been under Level One. This includes the In-lieu site and the whole area of Wyeth. Level Two means that people should be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Click here for an extended map of the evacuation zones. Hood River County Sheriff Matt English says the decision to increase the evacuation level in the County was made after evaluation of imaging received from a flight over the fire Friday morning.  Active fire at that time was observed across the top of Wooly Horn Ridge, east of the last reported location of the fire.  There were also spot fires noted around Hicks Lake, which is east of Chinidare Mountain.  This information was evaluated by the Sheriff’s Office, who then made the call to initiate the warning.  English says safety is the number one priority, so they wanted to give people plenty of time to start thinking about it, and the new Level 1 areas in the valley are precautionary, but there is no imminent threat. English did say the new Level 2 areas are based on the west winds that were strong Friday, and is a more immediate call to be ready to go if necessary. Cascade Locks south of Wa-Na-Pa Street remains under a Level 3 “must go” evacuation. Hood River County Emergency Management has set up an information hotline for the Eagle Creek Fire, that number is 541-387-6941. The Hood River County Sheriff’s Department encourages County residents to sign up for the Citizen Alert automatic notification system that sends emergency alerts through home, mobile or business phones, email addresses, and text messages.  To sign up, go to the Hood River County website. The Oregon Department of Transportation says it is working closely with fire officials to determine when westbound lanes of Interstate 84 between Hood River and Troutdale can reopen, but eastbound I-84 will remain closed at least another week, the minimum time required to complete rock removal.  ODOT says it has removed about 2,000 trees that were in danger of falling onto I-84 with about 1,500 remaining to be removed, and that should be finished early this week.  The biggest impediment to reopening the freeway is the threat of falling rocks, most of them around Toothrock Tunnel.  Work is slow in steep and difficult terrain extending up the hillside.  ODOT has found minimal damage to bridges and culverts.  The Historic Columbia River Highway remains closed with no schedule to reopen. ODOT reports rocks and trees continue to fall.  ODOT officals also said that in the weeks ahead they will be assessing the danger of winter slides in areas where the underbrush has burned away. The Coast Guard opened the Columbia River to all marine traffic Sunday evening.  All mariners going through the area are encouraged to exercise caution and maintain a sharp lookout. A 20-person fire crew continues to prep roads along the east side of the Indian Heaven Wilderness for use as the fire line to minimize any spread of the East Crater Fire outside the wilderness.  Crews are removing brush and small trees from the roadside and installing hose lays. The East Crater Fire has been burning in the wilderness since September 3 and fire size remains at 467-acres. The Bear Creek Fire was declared contained on Sunday after crews completed mop-up within the fire interior.  Hose lays will be left in place and fire personnel will check on the fire daily.  The 36 acre fire is three miles northeast of Carson. The Washington Department of Natural Resources says the Archer Mountain Fire above Skamania has now burned 253 acres and has a 30 percent containment level.  The Washington Department of Natural Resources says suppression tactics are meeting containment strategy.  There are 110 firefighters involved in that effort. The 250-acre Rim Fire now has a 32 percent containment level.  That fire is six miles east of Clear Lake in the Barlow Ranger District.  The fire is expected to continue to creep with isolated tree torching.  Over the next 24 hours fire growth is expected to be minimal.  Crews will continue mop up along containment lines and begin to open closed roads as needed for contingency line.  Trails, campgrounds, active timber sales, and the White River Watershed are in the area of the Rim Fire. The U.S. Postal Service is advising that any residents of the Cascade Locks area who have been forced to evacuate their homes because of the Eagle Creek Fire may pick up their mail at the Stevenson Post Office on 90 SW Russell Avenue, which is open from 8:30 to 5 p.m. weekdays. and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.  Customers are asked to present photo identification to obtain their mail. The Office of Oregon State Fire Marshal on Friday updated the number of structures destroyed by the Eagle Creek Fire to four. One structure was a full time occupied residence.  The additional three structures were non-full time residences that were unoccupied. An information board has been placed at the intersection of Wa-Na-Pa and Regulator in Cascade Locks, and an Oregon State Fire Marshal’s information officer is posted at the Bridge of the Gods side park lot. A Red Cross Shelter is set up at the Skamania County Fairgrounds.
