Small Barlow Ridge Fire In Mop Up

A small lightning-caused along Barlow Ridge south of Highway 35 and east of Highway 26 in the southwest corner of Hood River County has a line around its perimeter.  The Mt. Hood National Forest says the quarter-acre fire is in a mop-up phase.  However, forest officials say it will take personnel several days to do patrol and mop up, and get the fire in a contained, controlled status.  Fire personnel borrowed a helicopter from the nearby Whisky Creek Fire to drop water on the fire and keep it small.  It was first reported early Monday morning, soon after lightning had passed through the area.
