No Measured Growth On Eagle Creek Fire

Cool and moist conditions continue to prevail across the Eagle Creek Fire, resulting in no measured growth over the past 24 hours.  Fire size remains at 48,668 acres, with 46% containment.  Fire behavior remains minimal.  Most portions of the fire are in a smoldering state, though some open flame has been observed.  Smoke can still be seen from portions of the fire.   Crews remain in place to patrol and extinguish hot spots along the fire’s perimeter while they work on soil stabilization projects.  Northwest Team 12 became fully operational yesterday from an incident command post at the Best Western Columbia River Inn in Cascade Locks.  The new team has begun placing orders for some additional resources as it develops a plan to manage the fire area.  While no significant change in fire behavior is expected, fire managers are developing contingency plans if weather shifts back toward a warmer, drier pattern.
