White River Fire 70% Containment

The White River Fire reached 70% containment on Tuesday.  Fire incident commander Noel Livingston says the fire is essentially in patrol and mop-up status at this point, and didn’t experience growth during strong east winds on Monday.  Resource advisors will work with crews and heavy equipment operators to repair areas damaged by suppression activities and remove unneeded equipment and trash.   The fire has not grown in size for several days, remaining at 17,507 acres.   Logs and stumps continue to smolder and unburned islands are likely to burn inside the fire perimeter.  East winds will lead to Red Flag Warning conditions into Wednesday.  The Type 1 management team that has been in command of the White River Fire has now been placed in command of the Lionshead Fire to the south on the Warm Springs Reservation.
