Small wildfire burning north of Summerville

U.S. Forest Service crews were working this morning to put out a wildfire on Huckleberry Mountain north of Summerville.

Brett Thomas, district fire manager for the Umatilla National Forest, said the blaze, dubbed the Huckleberry Hound Fire, is likely a “holdover” from lightning strikes that hit the area two weeks ago.

“This one got a little active,” Thomas said. “If you were to draw a circle around it, it would be about 15 acres.’’

Thomas said the fire, located entirely on the Umatilla National Forest, is not a threat to structures. No injuries have been reported.

Thomas said crews have put out three or four other holdover fires in recent days.
