Indian Creek Update 8/3

The Indian Creek Fire grew very slightly Tuesday, but is still considered to be 74 acres. It was the first day helicopters had not been used, as they were in for maintenance. The fire became more active and gained a little ground on the north edge. Helicopters resumed their drops Wednesday. A 20 person Cascade Type 2 Initial Attack crew is observing the fire and conducting reconnaissance for areas where fireline can be safely and effectively constructed. 63 total personnel are manning the fire. All the trails closed in the last week are still closed. Also, Wahtum and Indian Springs Campgrounds are closed. Eagle Creek Trail is open from the trailhead near I-84 to the Wilderness Boundary. The Pacific Crest Trail, Punch Bowl Falls and High Bridge all remain open. Tunnel Falls is closed. The estimated containment date is Saturday, September 30th. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
