Closures: Area closures remain in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and Hood River County. Closures are put into place for the safety of the public and fire crews; intrusion into a closure area can disrupt fire suppression and repair activities, endanger lives and property, and can result in fines. Closure information is at: https://linktr.ee/whisky_creek.2024.
Update provided by the Whiskey Creek Fire's Public Information Officer.
While fire restrictions have been lifted in these three forests, please remember firefighters are still fighting wildfires across Oregon and Washington. If you have a campfire, ensure it is out cold to the touch before leaving.
Weather: A weak high pressure moves into the area today bringing sunny skies and warmer temperatures. Humidity recoveries will be high overnight with minimal decline during the day. This weather pattern should continue through Friday.
Yesterday, firefighters started deconstructing and removing the hose lay system feeding the primary handline. Efforts focused on removing water tanks, pumps, and hoses from around Rainy Lake. Today, crews will start removing hose from Gorton Creek Trail #408 near Green Point Mountain. If weather allows, a helicopter will be used to fly the hose from the area since access is hike-in only.
The Mt. Hood National Forest, the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest have all lifted their fire restrictions.

The Whisky Creek Fire is in steep and rugged terrain within the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The fire remains within the control lines along the southern & eastern edge. The Eagle Creek Fire scar continues to be a barrier along the western and northern edges of the fire.
The fire grew 46 acres in the last two days. All fire growth has been along the S edge of the fire and poses no threat to control lines. The fire is still smoldering in heavy logs & will continue to produce light smoke. Fire behavior is not expected to increase even with sunnier, warmer weather moving into the area

Resource advisors continue to work with crews and heavy equipment during the repair efforts to minimize impacts to natural and cultural resources. Firefighters will continue to patrol the accessible portions of the fire perimeter.
Weather: Cooler weather yesterday helped keep fire activity to a minimum. There is potential for another weather system to move into the area over the weekend with forecasted rain.

Whisky Creek Fire @ 6 miles SE of Cascade Locks, OR - #WhiskyCreekFire https://share.watchduty.org/i/26990
The rain received was less than forecasted, so Hood River Valley and Columbia River Gorge communities will still see smoke from heavy fuels burning.
The Central Cascades Interagency Incident Management Team took over the Whisky Creek Fire last night. They would like to thank Northwest Team 12 for the amazing work they performed during their assignment. The Sandstone and the Blister Creek Fires will be managed by a local Type 4 organization.
The fire grew minimally yesterday with little to no activity. Crews will continue to do light fire suppression repair to help prevent erosion.

A resource advisor will be inspecting fire suppression repair work tomorrow. Rain in the forecast will quiet fire activity, but smoke from smoldering heavy fuels will persist.
Weather: A wetter weather system has moved in with rain expected across the area, as well as cooler temperatures and gusty west/southwest winds. This system will exit the area on Thursday. For smoke forecasts and safety, visit: oregonsmoke.org.

A local Type 3 team will be taking responsibility for the Whisky Creek Fire while the Sandstone and Blister Creek Fires will be transitioning to a local Type 4 organization.
Whisky Creek: The fire grew minimally yesterday with the most activity on the south flank in the headwaters of Herman Creek. Firefighters filled portable water tanks by pumping water from Wahtum Lake up the hose lay along the southeast flank. Grading continued near Green Point Reservoir and heavy equipment completed dozer line repair between Forest Service Road (FSR) 2820 and FSR 630.

The Whisky Creek, Sandstone, and Blister Creek Fires are in steep and rugged terrain on the Mt. Hood National Forest where rolling debris and fire-weakened trees challenge firefighting efforts. Much work has been accomplished on these fires, and there is a high probability of success in confining the fire within the current footprint. Minimal growth is anticipated given the forecasted weather conditions.
Today is Northwest Team 12’s last day assigned to the fire. The team would like to thank the local community for hosting our Incident Command Post and supporting our efforts.
