White River Fire Progress Continues

Firefighters on the White River Fire took advantage of Monday’s break in the weather to make progress in securing lines and suppressing fire.  An update from fire managers this morning said hotshot crews were able to construct a line in the canyon all the way down to the river edge.  Established dozer lines continued to hold, keeping fire from reaching Highway 216.  In an operational update issued this morning, Incident Commander Trainee Randy Johnson said there are now some options for direct line to help reduce acreage.  There are now 1,188 personnel on the fire, which is listed as 15, 411 acres in size and 10% contained.  A community meeting on the fire is scheduled for Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Wamic Community Center, and will be available online through White River Fire Information Facebook page.
