There is a large fire on the Larch Mountain ridgeline just to the east of the Jackson fire of last October. It is burning on the south side of the ridge. DNR and ECFR are on it. Does anyone know anything else, like how it may have started?

Hey Des, We spent a good chunk of the day with Longview Fiber staff and heard nothing about this at all - it must have just started recently... You can try to listen for updates here, but there is alot of traffic on there tonight... www.sprintq.net/ClarkCoWA.htmlCrystal

Yes, there is a lot of traffic on the County scanner. There was a mention to a firefighter about using the "DNR Larch Common Channel", and that it was "going to be a long night". Does anyone know what that channel is? Thanks.

Well it's a few minutes before 3am and I rode with Rick to work and when we hit I-84 in Gresham we could see the fire in The Burn. Wish my phone could take a good pic.

Just coming back west on I-84 and can still see the smoke from the fire. Does anyone else have a better update?

Yes, still some smoke, but very light. It was on the eastern side of an old large clear cut area. toyrocs
