No Significant Change To Eagle Creek Fire

Two reconnaissance flights Monday revealed no significant change in behavior or size of the Eagle Creek Fire.  Crews continue working on suppression repair, chipping, decking trees, and mop-up where the topography and terrain allow.  Hood River County collaborated with resource advisors to finalize a plan for identifying and relocating downed logs out of the eastern flank.  A Burned Area Emergency Response team has been tasked with assessing and prescribing emergency stabilization treatments for the areas that have been most affected by the fire.  A high-pressure system is predicted to create a warming trend this week with gusty east winds on Wednesday and Thursday.  That will mean an increase of isolated smokes from the fire starting today, mostly due to isolated logs continuing to burn.  Fire behavior remains minimal and fire spread is unlikely around most of the fire.  A 95-acre reduction in fire size acreage to 48,573 acres is due to more accurate mapping from an infrared flight on Sunday night.
