Whisky Creek Fire Sees Some Growth On Southwest Flank

The Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks was most active Sunday near the headwaters of Herman Creek, and there was some fire growth on the southwest flank.  Size has increased slightly to 2,935 acres, with containment still 25%.  A small spot fire is smoldering below the Benson Plateau, but it does not appear to be moving or growing.  Firefighters removed structure protection wrap from buildings and signs where there is no longer threat from fire.  Fire managers used a reconnaissance flight to scout the north end of the fire for secondary fireline locations.  Crews will continue to patrol and monitor the fire both aerially and from the ground.  Fire managers are working on a contingency firing plan that could be implemented, if needed in the future.  Monday firefighters were connecting the last piece to complete an extensive hose lay northeast of Wahtum Lake.
