Warm temperatures, strong winds, and already dry conditions led to a pair of fire in the area on Saturday. A 75-acre fire north of The Dalles Dam led to an evacuation of Horsethief State Park in Klickitat County. It started just after 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Crews from Lyle, Klickitat, Dallesport/Murdock, and Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue all took part in the effort to bring the fire under control. Firefighters were able to do that by late Saturday night. Later Saturday afternoon further to the east, I-84 at Biggs Junction was closed for a brief time due to a fire. The Sherman County Sheriff’s Office said there were multiple accidents in the area due to smoke cutting down visibility. Fire departments throughout the area remind everyone that coming off a drier than usual winter and spring, fire danger is high. Many jurisdictions have instituted burn bans.
