MOSIER, Ore. -- The Memaloose Park Fire, which burned 74 acres, is 90 percent contained Tuesday morning and fire officials said it should reach 100 percent containment by the end of the day.
The fire broke out Friday night and jumped Interstate 84. It grew to 65 acres over the weekend and prompted Level 2 (Be Set) and Level 1 (Be Ready) evacuations for the community of Rowena Dell in the Columbia River Gorge. All evacuation notices were lifted Monday.
Highway 30, which was closed from Marsh Cutoff Road to the Rowena interchange because of the fire, re-opened late Saturday night.
