[Parkdale, Ore.]
Today firefighters on the 80 acre 1620 Road Fire continued efforts
mopping-up adjacent to the fireline.
Securing this perimeter ensures that fire will not move outside the line. The fire is 100% contained, with 95% control.
The fire burned primarily within a young timber stand with old logging
slash. There were no structures
threatened or destroyed and no injuries were reported on the fire.
Saturday evening the fire was transitioned back to the
local unit to continue work mopping-up the interior of the fire. Firefighters will be gridding for areas of
heat working through unburned fuels and removing fire hose and equipment from
the fireline. This work will continue
through the beginning of next week. Once
complete the fire will continue to be monitored. Resources on the fire include contract hand
crews and a tender as well as contract and ODF fire engines.
Cooperators who assisted on this fire include a Type 3
organization from Central Oregon Fire Management Service, firefighting
resources from Parkdale Fire Department, USFS Mt. Hood National Forest, USFS
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, other ODF Fire Districts, various
contractors, and Oregon Department of Corrections.
