Smoke Outlook for 7/18 -7/19North Central Washington Cedar Creek, Delcany, Cub Creek 2  Weather conditions today will be similar to yesterday, although smoke impacts may be greater due to additional smoke in the airshed. Mazama, Winthrop, and residences upslope from the valley floor should expect periods of USG and Unhealthy air, particularly when the winds shift from downvalley to upvalley continuing until the inversion lifts. Upvalley winds will then start to scour out the smoke. Twisp should expect Moderate to USG throughout the day. Less impacts should occur further downvalley. Consider creating an inexpensive clean room in your house even if you don’t have an air purifier. Utilize a box fan with a filter taped to it in a room with a closed door and closed windows. Avoid activities that mobilize particulates like vacuuming, frying food, and burning candles and incense. For more  information go to the Health Information Tab on the Washington Smoke Blog...

 Sweet Home, Ore. – The Bruler Fire has remained at 156 acres over the past few days since cooler temperatures, light winds and higher humidity helped firefighters by reducing fire activity. Firefighters were successful in placing hose around portions of the fire perimeter and have lined the entire fire with direct and indirect line. Containment is now listed at 10%.Firefighters are working to bring indirect line closer to the fire perimeter to keep the fire size close to its current footprint. Keeping the fire small is a priority of the Agency Administrator and the Incident Commander. Today, firefighters will continue to place sprinklers on the perimeter of the Bruler Fire. Sprinklers add water to the dry, dead and down trees and plants. The sprinklers will reduce the probability of fire spread, both within and outside the fire perimeter, by increasing the relative humidity in the fire area. Heavy equipment will continue working on creating fuel breaks and saw crews will remove...
