Higher Humidity & Lower Temps Help Camp Creek Fire Effort

Higher humidity and lower temperatures are slowing down the Camp Creek Fire in the Mt. Hood National Forest near the Bull Run Watershed.  Great Basin Team 1 Operations Section Chief Matt Call says the moisture with a 30 percent chance of rain won’t put out the fire, but it does help them address their main priority, which is to protect the watershed, using Forest Service roads 12 and 14 as breaks.  Call says an infrared imaging flight overnight put the size of the fire at 1,607 acres, with a small amount of growth taking place Sunday.  There is no containment at this time.  There are 231 personnel assigned to the fire, and Call says they have more engines, equipment, and felling teams on order.
