Firefighters continued to work on fire suppression repair around large parts of the Eagle Creek Fire on Sunday and will likely continue for several more days. Fire Management Office Darren Kennedy calls it the largest fire suppression repair project in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area since it was established in 1986. A Burned Area Emergency Response Team assigned to the fire finalized a Soil Burn Severity map. They identified 15% of the fire area as having high burn severity and 30% with moderate burn severity, with the remaining 55% at low or very low burn severity. High burn severity is characterized by the burning of all or nearly all of the ground cover and surface organic matter, including fine roots. Moderate burn severity has consumption of up to 80% of the ground cover. In areas with low burn severity, much of the organic matter on the surface is not fully burned and roots are generally intact. The fire containment level remains at 46%, and the acreage at 48,831.
