Whisky Creek Fire Size Up To 2,057 Acres

Size of the Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks in the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness has moved up by 84 acres to 2,057, while containment remains at 9%.  Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 Operations Section Chief Cary Neu says crews have been focusing their efforts on the east and southeast areas of the fire.  Hand crews are scouting the southern portions of the perimeter for opportunities to limit the size of the fire footprint.  Heavy equipment operations continue on Forest Roads 630 and 2820.  Neu added that while Saturday night’s heavy rains quieted down the fire somewhat, they did not get as much on the ground as they hoped, and fire activity could increase as conditions dry out.
