White River Fire Commander Reports Good Progress

The Forest Service placed containment of the White River Fire in the Mt. Hood National Forest at 15% Tuesday.  Incident Commander Brian Goff said the size of the fire to 1,289 acres, and that firefighters are making good progress on it.  Most fire behavior will be interior backing and flanking fire.  Short range spotting to the north and west could test established lines.  U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region Director for Fire, Fuels, and Aviation Director John Giller said the White River Fire is the #2 priority fire in the region.  A portion of the Mt. Hood National Forest was closed today to support fire suppression efforts.
