Wasson Pond Fire Contained

The Wasson Pond Fire, east of The Dalles, is now 100% contained. Management of the fire reverted to Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue on Tuesday. MCFR said the size of the fire has been recalculated and it turned out to be 170 acres, instead of the 300 acres they thought previously. The fire was in rolling hills and valleys and that made it hard to figure. Mop-up operations have finished. There could still be a few hotspots, but there are patrols through the area every couple hours to take care of any flare-ups. No injuries were reported. Two pump houses were destroyed and a third was damaged.
