The fire, which was caused by a lightning strike and first reported on July 23, 2017, has burned approximately {{Convert|14500|acre|km2|0|abbr=}} and is currently no longer active[2]. It is one of eight fires to burn in Willamette National Forest in the Fall of 2017. EventsThe Whitewater Fire was started by a lightning strike in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness near the Whitewater Creek. The fire was first reported on July 23, 2017, at 5:35 PM by a commercial airplane that spotted the smoke. By the next day, the fire had grown to {{Convert|67|acre|ha|0|abbr=}} due to high winds, low humidity and high temperatures.[1][2] The US Forest Service closed numerous trails in response to the fire's growth, including portions of Whitewater, Cheat Creek, Triangulation and Crag trails.[2] Two days later, on July 25, a forest service road off of Highway 20 was closed.[3] The fire grew somewhat, but calm weather kept it under 100 acres and the Hoodoo ski area became an Incident Command Post.[4] By August 1, the fire had grown to {{Convert|167|acre|km2|0}} and 11-miles of the Pacific Crest Trail and South Breitenbusch Trail were closed due to concerns with the fire's growth due to hot and dry weather.[5] Due to the heavy fuels and hot, dry weather the fire grew to {{Convert|1,500|acre|km2|0}} overnight and was 10% contained. Air resources began to be utilized due to the growth.[6] By August 3, the Whitewater Fire expanded north and south to {{Convert|4579|acre|km2|0}} acres, and reaching Woodpecker and Breitenbush creeks. Fire crews began digging firelines and clearing roadside vegetation.[7] The air quality in nearby Detroit declined rapidly, with ash falling from the sky.[4] Aircraft were unable to provide air support due to low visibility.[8] On August 5, Super Scoopers began collecting water from Detroit Lake and select trailheads were closed in Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest.[9][10]By mid-August, the Little Devil Fire started about two miles northwest of the Whitewater Fire[9][10]. By mid-August, the Little Devil Fire started about two miles northwest of the Whitewater Fire.[11] Air quality still remained poor in Detroit and declined in Breitenbush. The final Willamette National Forest update on the Whitewater Fire was on September 26, 2017. The fire had burned {{Convert|11493|acre|km2|0}} and was 64% contained. Forest Service Road 45 reopened to traffic with all other trail and road closures remaining in place. Fire crews continue to implement cleanup, suppression and repair.[12]By the end of October, the Whitewater Fire had grown to {{Convert|14463|acre|km2|0}}.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Whitewater Fire|url=https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5420/|website=InciWeb|publisher=Willamette National Forest|accessdate=10 December 2017}} {{2017 American wildfires}}{{Oregon wildfires}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=New wildfire burns 65 acres in Mt.
