Containment of the 20,026 acre South Valley Fire has been moved up to 60 percent this morning. Fire officials say as the fire cooled in the southeast portion of the fire, crews were reassigned to work through the night on mopping up hot spots and burning stumps, especially around structures in the north end of the fire. Firefighters are focused on mopping up 75 to 150 feet inward from the perimeter of the fire. Much of the line is cool, with the heat concentrated north of the Hix and Friend Road areas. Firefighters are seeing “dust or ash devils,” which occur when solar heating hits the ground and the unstable atmosphere creates a whirlwind, leading to concern these can pick up hot burning embers and carry it over the fire line where a new fire could start outside the perimeter. The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office lowered all evacuation advisories to Level 1 on Sunday evening. Over the weekend the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office stated that at least three primary structures and 15 outbuildings have been lost in the fire.
