Minimal Growth On Whisky Creek Fire

The Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks in the Mt. Hood National Forest grew minimally on Tuesday.  Northwest Interagency Incident Management Team 12 says most of the activity was on the south flank in the headwaters of Herman Creek.  Minimal growth is anticipated given forecasted weather conditions, and officials believe there is a high probability of confining the fire within its current footprint, but smoke from smoldering heavy fuels will persist.  The fire is now listed as 3,047 acres in size, with containment remaining at 25%.  Wednesday is the final day for Team 12 to be assigned to fire.  A local Type 3 team will be taking responsibility for the fire.
