The Eagle Creek Fire, which authorities said was sparked Sept. 2 by a 15-year-old boy playing with fireworks, was burning across 33,682 acres as of Saturday and the nearly 1,000 personnel working in Oregon had the wildfire 7 percent contained. U.S. Forest Service spokesman Paul Cerda warned the Eagle Creek Fire could double in size before it is contained.
