White River Fire 100 Percent Contained

Most of the firefighters who have been mopping up the 652-acre White River Fire west of Maupin are hitting the road today.  The Oregon Department of Forestry incident management team declared the fire 100 percent contained this morning, and turned direction of continued mop-up operations to The Dalles Unit of State Forestry.  Several crews, engines, and other equipment remain to ensure the fire stays inside its containment lines.  Crews completed a fire line around the perimeter of the blaze, then fully extinguished all hot spots within 300 to 500 feet of the fire line.  Many of those who helped contain the White River Fire are now on their way to other wildfires.
