Whisky Creek Fire Activity Moderates

Cooler temperatures and higher humidity moderated fire activity on the Whisky Creek Fire on Monday, with only slight growth in the headwaters of Herman Creek.  Fire size went up by 42 acres to 2,977, while containment continues to be at 25%.  Northwest Interagency Management Team 12 officials say a hose lay from Wahtum Lake to the southeast side of the fire was tested and completed.  Crews will continue dozer line and hand line repair today and heavy equipment will engage in road grading on Forest Service Roads 2018 and 2810 up to Green Point Reservoir.  Contingency planning is ongoing, identifying secondary fireline locations and developing a plan in the unlikely event a firing operation is necessary in the future.
