The White River Fire grew dramatically Thursday evening, up to 9,791 acres as of Friday morning.  That’s up by over 7,000 acres from Thursday morning.  Fire Public Information Officer Mary Ellen Fitzgerald says strong winds led to the fire making a big push to the east from the Mt. Hood National Forest onto state and private lands.  The fire is just north of the community of Pine Grove and has moved on to state lands in the Smock Prairie area, burning from the northwest to the southeast down the White River and moving into juniper trees and rangeland flats.  The weather forecast for today calls for 9 to 15 mile per hour winds…but also lower humidity.  Fitzgerald says the fire breached primary, alternate, and contingency lines, forcing fire officials to re-evaluate their strategies, but they will have a full complement of resources with over 600 firefighters on site.  There are also four heavy helicopters and a smaller helicopter, and fixed wing retardant drops were called in yesterday.  She adds a Type 1 management team will be coming in to manage fire operations on Saturday.  Fitzgerald says Oregon Governor Kate Brown has invoked the conflagration act, and structural strike teams from the state Fire Marshal’s office are being brought in to protect homes and other buildings in the fire area.  Evacuation advisories issued yesterday remain in effect as of this morning.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office gave a Level 3 “Go Now” order for residents who live from Bear Springs Ranger Station along Highway 216 through Pine Grove, to the intersection of Endersby Road and Highway 216, including homes on Endersby, Linns Mill, and Kelly Springs roads.  There were a number of other Level 1 and 2 evacuation advisories issued.  Full evacuation information is on the Wasco County Sheriff’s Facebook page.
