Work continues on Big Hollow Fire

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Big Hollow Fire has burned 20,805 acres. There are 284 personnel on hand, including 6 hand crews, 9 engines, dozers and a water tender. They also have a helicopter and fixed-wing plane available. Crews have continued firing operations along roads 57 and 58 and installed fire lines to limit progress in the south. They’ve prepped roads to limit westerly spread. They also planned to burn a control line to stop eastward spread. Crews are monitoring around structures at Government Mineral Springs, where there is a level three evacuation notice. Level One orders are in effect in Yale, Cougar, Northwoods and parts of Amboy and Yacolt. Most developed campgrounds, dispersed camping,  and most forest roads and trails in the Southwest part of the  Gifford Pinchot are closed. The Pacific Crest Trail is open. The fire is 10% contained.
