Nene Creek Fire Burns 200 Acres

The Nene Creek Fire sparked by lighting over the weekend about 22 miles north of Shaniko Butte has burned 200 acres.  The fire is on Warm Springs tribal land of mixed conifer, grass, and brush.  The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center says 10 residences are threatened by the fire along with two other structures.  Three fire crews totaling 103 people and ten engines are battling the fire.  Four crews from the nearby Logging Unit fires, including two heavy-lift helicopters, spent Sunday working with Warm Springs Fire Management to check expansion of the blaze.  There is no containment figure at this time.
