Firefighters are doing mop-up work today on a 45 acre wildfire that started Monday afternoon about five miles west of The Dalles. The Chenoweth Fire began around 5:20 p.m. on state-protected land and burned through the night before Oregon Department of Forestry and Steelhead Enterprises crews could extinguish all visible flames. The ODF’s Brian Ballou says firefighters today will continue to strengthen trails creating a containment buffer and work on hot spots. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
