Whisky Creek Fire Still At 25% Containment

The Whisky Creek Fire southeast of Cascade Locks remains listed at 2,092 acres, and containment at 25%.  Despite cool and moist weather on Monday, the fire continued to creep in surface fuels and deep duff layers in the east fork of Herman Creek.  Northwest Interagency Incident Management Team 12 Operations Section

Chief Kurt Ranta said weather conditions in the fire area Monday prevented an aerial survey of the western portion of the fire.  Light fire suppression will continue where feasible while maintaining the integrity of the firelines.  Resource advisors will assess remaining fire suppression tasks to minimize impacts to natural resources.  Water tenders, graders, excavators, and a handcrew are arriving to carry out specialized repair activities and to replace those reaching the end of their 14-day assignment.
