Whisky Creek Fire Moves To 24% Containment

Containment of the Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks in the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness has jumped up to 24%, as fire managers take advantage of favorable weather conditions to implement more direct fire suppression efforts.  Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 Operations Section Chief Cary Neu says much of their focus has remained to the south and east of the fire.  Neu says to the north and east mop up and patrol continues.  Fire size was increased slightly to 2,067 acres.  Officials expect cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and scattered showers in the next couple of days will continue to moderate fire behavior.
