Indian Creek Canyon Fire Contained

A fire that burned three-point-six acres in the bottom of Indian Creek Canyon where it meets the Hood River has been contained.  Hood River Fire Chief Devon Wells credited a helicopter brought in to make water drops on the fire with being a big reason why the blaze that started Sunday evening was knocked down.  Wells said there would be firefighters remaining on the scene overnight, and on Tuesday firefighters would be back at the fire location doing more mop up work.  He said Hood River residents should expect smoky conditions, particularly in the morning, drifting down from the river canyon over the next day or two.  No structures or power lines were damaged by the fire, which Wells described as “cleaning out the hillside.”  There is no word yet on a cause of the fire, and Wells indicated more work on that investigation will take place on Tuesday.
