MOSIER, Ore. – Yesterday afternoon ODF Incident Management Team 1, which is now in sole command of the Mosier Creek Fire, sent resources to help with a new fire reported south of Hood River near Odell, about 6 miles west of the Mosier Creek Fire. Five engines, one hand crew and four helicopters (Types 1, 2 and 3) along with a division supervisor were sent. The coordinated attack with local cooperators was a major success, stopping the new fire at 1.6 acres.

Today, firefighters will continue working on mopping-up on the Mosier Creek Fire. The Wasco County Sheriff has lifted Level 3 (Go!) evacuations entirely for this fire. However, the general public should avoid the area burned by the fire unless absolutely necessary as there will be ongoing firefighting traffic. Some roads are restricted to local access only. Fire-weakened trees and burned roots covered by dust or ash might also still be hot enough to cause harm.

On Wednesday, ODF’s Incident Management Team 1 will transfer command of the Mosier Creek Fire back to The Dalles Unit of ODF’s Central Oregon District. Several local resources will continue to patrol and monitor the fire. People may see occasional smoke from the interior of the fire.

Having completed their structure protection work, the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s IMT and the remaining structural Task Forces demobilized yesterday and returned structure responsibilities to local fire authorities. Their final assessment: 8 residences were destroyed along with 28 other structures.

Across much of Oregon fire danger continues at its highest level. Temperatures well into the 90s and above have left brush, grass and trees parched. Dried leaves are falling, adding to combustible fuels on the ground.
