The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday afternoon some reductions to evacuation advisories as a result of the Microwave Tower Fire. The area from Highway 30 south to Hood River Road, east to Rock Creek and Huskey Road, and west to the Hood River County line was reduced from Level 3 to Level 2. The City of Mosier from Rock Creek, east to Mosier Creek Road, south to the intersection of Huskey Road and Ponderosa Place and Blanchard Boulevard, and west to Rock Creek was lowered from Level 2 to Level 1, as was the area from the Hood River County border in the west, east to Huskey Road, southwest to the intersection of Huskey and Elder Road, and north to just south of Hood River Road. All other evacuation levels are unchanged. Containment has remained at 53% for a few days now, but Central Cascades Interagency Management Team Public Information Officer Paul Brooking says that will change as lines are widened. No growth was reported, even though the size of fire was increased to 1,311 acres due to more accurate mapping. Firefighters are continuing mop-up on the northwestern side of the fire, while water tenders and engines will be utilized on the northeastern side to put water on areas with heat.
