Nash Fire: There has not been much change in the perimeter during the last few days. It is still burning close to the edge of Nash Lake and is approximately 4 miles from Elk Lake. Crews and heavy equipment working along the Cascade Lakes Highway are removing dense vegetation and thinning trees to create a fuel break. They expect to finish in 5 to 7 days. The fuel break is being constructed to protect the Elk and Lava lakes areas and to halt fire spread to the east, in the event the fire moves over the Cascade Crest.

Good morning, Rick Miller Operations Section Chief. I'll give you an update on what happened yesterday and a little bit of what our plans are for today. Starting on the west end in the Bridal Veil area crews made really good progress both on the north side and the south side. They were mopping up. That's looking really good in there. On both sides of the [west] fire edge spot fires are looking really good. There's no heat at all in them. There's no chance of movement. Coming down the Highway 84 corridor we did have quite a few crews looking at some of these areas. The fire had not quite burned down to our control feature and we went in there direct so it would not burn anymore, or burn those out, so Highway 84 corridor is looking good all the way up to Cascade Locks. The burnout from three days ago we had people patrolling and mopping up so that's looking really good. Our Prep line out further in advance of the fire was implemented so that looks good. Coming over to around the east...
