The Microwave Tower Fire five miles west and southwest of Mosier is now at 14% containment. The Great Basin Interagency Incident Management Team and the Oregon Department of Forestry said this morning that further containment is expected as the southern end of the 704-acre fire moves into mop-up. Crews are leveraging local knowledge and experience to enhance the effectiveness of using the railroad tracks as line tie-in feature for the west and east ends of the fire, which would also remove fuels and reduce the risk of fire spread. Crews Thursday are also working to improve dozer line connecting to the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. There are 115 personnel assigned to the fire, up from 43 on Wednesday. The weather forecast predicts cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and lower winds that can provide an opportunity to increase progress. Evacuation levels in place for Wednesday night remain in effect.
