Crews establish fire lines, have Eagle Creek Fire 5 percent contained

The fire has burned more than 30,000 acres, and Interstate 84 is still closed between Troutdale and Hood River, with no estimated time to reopen.

While the highway remains shut down, the U.S. Coast Guard plans to reopen access to the Columbia River to commercial ships at night, and Union Pacific has been able to move seven trains through the Columbia River Gorge.

State and local officials will hold their next information briefing on the fire Thursday at 9 a.m., and there will be a community meeting in the theater at Hood River Valley High School at 6 p.m.

There are now 928 fire personnel working on the fire, many of whom are camping out in the Hood River County Fairgrounds.
