More signs of a long, hard fire season in the Mid-Columbia.  The Squally Point Fire four miles northwest of The Dalles was held to 19 acres thanks to the rapid response from numerous firefighting agencies and emergency responders.  An Oregon Department of Forestry spokesperson reported the fire started just before 2 p.m. Tuesday in grass and brush near the Columbia River Gorge Discovery Center.  Two FireBoss scooper air tankers, a helicopter, and an air attack platform from Washington Department of Natural Resources assisted firefighters in containment efforts.  Firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service, Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue, Dallesport and Mosier fire departments, and the Oregon Department of Forestry were part of the initial attack firefighters.  Firefighters remained on the scene through the evening working to extinguish hot spots and flames in the interior of the fire.  Overnight a twenty person crew and overhead personnel was to continue mop-up activities and monitor for heat.  The fire is human caused and under investigation, but is not suspicious in nature.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue indicated on Facebook that a blown truck tire led to a hot rim flying off and igniting the brush on the north side of the freeway.  The Discovery Center was evacuated and closed as a precautionary measure on Tuesday, but plans to re-open Wednesday morning.  Meanwhile, Wasco County deputies as well as forestry departments and Wamic Fire were all dispatched to reports of a forest fire in the White River Canyon area in Southwest Wasco County.  No other details were available.
