Firefighter suffers minor injury on North Fork blaze
GLIDE, Ore. -- Steep terrain in a remote part of Oregon has complicated fighting the North Fork fire, and one firefighter suffered a sprained ankle.
Fire crews report that changing weather conditions allowed crews to work on cutting fire lines. The fire remains 20 percent contained on 450 acres, but the estimated date for containment was moved up two days from Aug. 30 to Aug. 28 on the latest report.
There are 718 people working the fire along with five helicopters and 14 fire engines.
