| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | There is considerable damage to the Okanogan-Wenatchee and Colville National Forests due to three long-living wildfires: Nason, TwentyFive Mile, and Walker Creek. They burned over 50,000 acres, which were mostly uninhabited areas. One of the three fires was ignited by lightning storms and all were fueled by many days of red flag conditions. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Twentyfive Mile Fire, west of Lake Chelan, was ignited on August 15th with the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Cooler and wetter weather, in mid-September, helped slow fire behavior, but return to drier and warmer weather fueled fire activity. The proximity to Lake Chelan were useful for frequent water drops in rugged terrain. The fire burned a total of 22,117 acres of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forecast and Twentyfive Mile Creek State Park before fully contained on October 19th. There were two homes destroyed with no known injuries or fatalities. The cost of the firefighting resources required to contain the fire was calculated at $31,887,321. |
