Wildfire Status:
The Whisky Creek Fire, located approximately six miles southeast of Cascade Locks, Oregon, has been officially declared 100% contained as of October 31, 2024. The fire covered an area of 3,239 acres and was classified as a full suppression fire. The incident began on July 20, 2024, and its cause is currently under investigation, although it has been noted to be human-related.
Firefighting resources were extensive, with a total of 72 personnel involved, including two hand crews, two engines, two water tenders, and heavy equipment.

The strategic management of the fire by the crews ensured that it remained within the established control lines throughout the duration of the incident.
As of the latest updates, there are no significant weather concerns impacting the area, which has likely aided in the successful containment of the fire. With the area now secure and under control, fire agencies are transitioning to monitoring and rehabilitation efforts to restore the environment affected by the wildfire.
