Grass Fire West Of The Dalles In Mop-Up

Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue crews today dealt with a 12-to-15 acre grass fire west of The Dalles between Highway 30 and Interstate 84 near Pinewood Mobile Manor.  According to MCFR, crews are into a mop-up phase with the fire still burning in hot spots and parts of some railroad ties are smoldering.  The fire did jump to the north side of the freeway, so firefighters were working both east and westbound sides of I-84.  Highway 30 is closed through the fire area at this time and railroad traffic is stopped, however Interstate 84 is open in both directions.  Motorists should be aware that there is fire apparatus on the side of Interstate 84.  The fire call came in at about 10:30 a.m.  Dallesport, Hood River, Oregon Department of Forestry, and U.S. Forest Service crews along with Klickitat County EMS were all assisting MCFR crews.
