Entiat Fire part 2

[UBA]

North fork of Potatoe creek is on fire. 2 Helicopter working it now. Seems like the lightning got another fire going

Not sure why they don't put permanenet firelines in all that country.   Seems like it would save money.

Forest Service said they recorded over 500 lightning strikes last night.  Going to be a real active fire season around here.

Another round coming tonight, big thunderheads forming. 110 or so today, not the best conditions.

At least we got rain last night.   If it had been dry YIKES

at least most of it has already burned before, as did the navarre fire that didnt last long.

Dang, I have Entiat late archery tag this year.  Hope they get it under control VERY soon!

The bad news:  It's going to be triple digits hot for at least a week.  The good news:  The air is drying out, so no more lightning storms can form.  Et:  The Entiat River Valley is a big place--it won't all burn.

I hope not but the tyee fire sure got close to burning it all down.

ET, I also have the late entiat archery tag, and this fire by no means threatens the unit. There is a small band of timber that runs through potatoe creek, other than that all that can burn is brush. i live in the entiat unit (about 12 miles from the fire) and have no smoke down here. Haven't even seen much in the way of fire fighters running up the valley.

Thanks!  Good luck on your tag, and maybe we will meet up there in the hills this fall.

your no hunting local deer so it's ok

Its pretty close to stormy creek so assume its the same one. I haven't heard anything about Tyee. That wouldn't be good if one up there got going.
