Acreage: 42,104 Containment: 50 percent Personnel: 482 Cause: Lightning Incident Mgt Team: NW Team 10 Lawson (Type 2) Cougar Creek Fire: Fire activity has been minimal for the last few days. Firefighters are working hard to build containment lines on the northern portion of the fire. Helicopters are dropping water to support on-the-ground efforts. Containment along the western perimeter from Maverick Peak to Sugarloaf Peak continues with mop up operations, infrared imaging to find hot spots, and patrolling. The southern and eastern areas of the fire are secure and suppression repair work continues on roads and firelines for erosion control. A remote camp will open in Entiat Sunday for personnel working on the east side of the fire to reduce travel times and the potential for traffic accidents. Saturday, four crews were sent to assist in initial attack for the Crystal Fire near Pangborn Airport in East Wenatchee. “That’s just what we do...

Fires The Crescent Mtn. fire near Twisp continues to be the most active of area fires and grew 670 since yesterday to 45,120 acres. The nearby McLeod fire grew 0 acres and remains at 22,511 acres. Cougar Creek fire near Plain grew 143 acres to a total of 41,847 acres. Smoke Breezy winds yesterday kept smoke from accumulating and all monitors in the forecast with the exception of Twisp enjoyed good air quality. Fire and dispersion conditions today will be similar to yesterday although winds will be a little lighter so more smoke may find its way to populated areas. Winds will move smoke predominately to the East/Southeast again today. Long-Range Air quality is expected to remain reasonably good overall. Smoke is still in the area though and fires are still active so under more stable atmospheric conditions, degraded air quality could return especially in areas close to fires.
