Staff Writer A ire near Two Rivers Correctional Institution on Monday ended up burning about 1,800 acres, accord- ing to Umatilla Fire Depart- ment Chief Steve Potts. He said the cause is still under investigation, but will likely end up being declared undetermined. “We have no ideas, ac- tually,” he said. “It’s out in the middle of nowhere.” Reports of a ire along the Columbia River be- tween the prison and Hat Rock State Park started coming in at 12:50 p.m. on Monday. The ire burned the area around the prison property, causing a lock- down, but Potts said there was no need to evacuate the compound, which is “pretty self-suficient.” TRCI did provide a hand crew of inmates to assist ireighters from Hermiston, Pendleton, Umatilla, Stanield, Echo, Boardman, Irrigon and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Oregon State Police, Ore- gon Department of Trans- portation, Umatilla Police Department and TRCI cor- rectional oficers assisted with trafic control while Highway 730 and nearby roads were shut down for a few hours in the afternoon. Mop-up continued into the evening, and ireight- ers returned in the morning to put out a lare-up. “I had a crew there until 10:30 last night to keep an eye on it,” Potts said. When they say “Let’s go out for a walk!” and you say “You always talk, talk, talk?!” 5 Theater Cineplex $5 Matinee Classics 541-567-4063 405 N. 1st St., Suite #107, Hermiston HWY 395, HERMISTON 541-567-4305 www.cottagefl owersonline.com He said there were some access issues when ire crews irst arrived to ight the ire. A locked gate blocked vehicles from driving on the trail be- tween McNary Beach and Hat Rock, where the lower portion of the ire burned, and on the upper portion, “there’s no road to speak of.” Potts noted it was the second major ire for the area in a week (the irst was at the Umatilla Chem- ical Depot on May 20) and asked people to please be as careful as possible about not sparking ires that can spread quickly in current conditions. “It doesn’t look good out there,” he said. Hermiston Fire & Emer- gency Services Chief Scott Stanton echoed that plea, noting that a warm, dry spring meant fuels like sagebrush have dried out sooner than usual. That combined with windy weather has been a “recipe for ire.” Hermiston, Stanield and Umatilla had already provided mutual aid for another brush ire on Lind Road on Memorial Day, and Stanton said there were six other minor ire calls throughout the day. The open burning peri- od ended Tuesday for the Hermiston Fire & Emer- gency Service District.

Fireighters took up defensive attack po- sitions and were able to pre- vent the ire from spreading to the two homes. “Obvi- ously, 20 mph winds didn’t help,” Broadbent said.
