Handline On Tomlike Mountain Ridge Connected To Whisky Creek Fire

The size of the Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks remains 2,084 acres, while containment stays at 24%.  Fire officials say after a delay due to unfavorable weather conditions, the handline on the Tomlike Mountain ridge was successfully connected to the fire’s edge, and crews continue to improve it.  Reinforcement of control and containment lines continues, along with patrols around the fire and repair activities along roadways.  On Friday morning command of the fire will transition from Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 to Team 12.  That team is shadowing the current group today.  With hot and dry conditions moving in, an increase in fire activity is possible.
