Larch Creek Fire Containment Now 43%

Containment of the Larch Creek Fire in southern Wasco County moved up to 43% as crews worked last night to grid the area, searching for any heat emerging around the fire’s edge.  Crews did observe juniper tree torching, or the ignition of trees from bottom to top inside the perimeter of the 18,432 acre fire.  Fire officials say they are making great progress on the fire.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office lifted all remaining Level 3 evacuation advisories on Wednesday evening, going down to Level 2.  There were other reductions, with all previous Level 1 advisories lifted.  Detailed evacuation information is available on the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.  The Pine Hollow Reservoir reopened to recreation on Wednesday afternoon.
