It shows updated as of yesterday but still shows 225 acres. The comments yesterday said there would be an overnight IR flight that would give a more accurate size. Probably get updated today sometime.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW! What a ride! - Hunter S. Thompson

Re: Fire in Bull Run Watershed
The fire is making for intense smoke on the north side of Mt. Hood. No hiking under those conditions! In the Upper Hood River Valley where I live, air quality has ranged from unhealthful for everyone to dangerous/top of scale in the last 24 hours. The orchard across the street isn't visible right now.
Re: Fire in Bull Run Watershed
As an upper valley resident also, I can concur, it is nasty today. Visibility sucks.
Re: Fire in Bull Run Watershed
The fire is still raging. good, that the firefighters are making progress
Re: Fire in Bull Run Watershed
I thought the wet weather was helping but the wind changed and brought a lot of smoke to Troutdale this morning, so I guess it's still pretty bad.
