Cache
fire 60 percent contained
By Jim Cornelius
Sisters, 8:30 p.m., July 29 -- The Cache Mountain fire was 60 percent contained on Monday evening, July 29. Fire officials estimate that the fire will be fully contained on Thursday, August 1.
The wind stayed down on Monday, allowing fire crews to shore up containment lines around the fire.
With better mapping information, fire officials reduced the acreage estimate on the blaze to 3,700.
The fire was still burning actively on the south and east flank, according to fire information officers, but there were no reports of the fire running or climbing into treetops (a condition known as "crowning").
Humidity was expected to be 60 to 70 percent Monday night, which could be a boon to night crews working on the fire lines.
