Fire Closure Area Reduced

The Mount Hood National Forest has reduced the size of the closure area as a result of the Eagle Creek Fire.  Friday’s update reduces the size of the closure area from 54,892 acres to 40,354 acres.  The closure area is now contained wholly within the boundaries of the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness on the Mt. Hood National Forest side of the Eagle Creek Fire Area.  Anyone planning to recreate in the general area is strongly encouraged to check closure updates on Mount Hood National Forest and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area websites, along with weather and trail conditions.  Many hazards resulting from the fire are present including burned trees, falling rocks and landslides.  Those who access the closure area illegally put emergency and Search and Rescue Responders at great risk.
