It is FAST MOVING! To the West of there are three huge fires in Chelan, Okanogan and Ferry Counties that are out of control. map is the #SinlahekinFire

Grateful to FEMA for their approval of Fire Management Assistance Grants to provide financial support for the fire response around Spokane, as well as the Sinlahekin Fire.

Please continue to stay vigilant if you're in those areas.

Extreme fire growth on the #SinlahekinFire, now burning into BC. The #LittleGiantFire, #SisiFire, #KingFire, and #ThreeQueensFire are all letting off noticeable smoke plumes too. #wawx

Smoke from catastrophic wildfires in #Spokane and #Okanagan are creating dangerous conditions for outdoor workers.

When AQI is above 101, employers must provide respirators to workers for voluntary use! An N95 is best. Be #SmokeReady #SinlahekinFire #FairviewFire #AutumnLaneFire

What a day of extreme fire behavior on the north side of the 156.7K acre #SinlahekinFire. Huge pyrocumulus cloud going into BC, toward Kelowna and Penticton. #wawx #bcstorm

As Washington and Oregon face a historically bad fire season, for the first time ever, a @calfire.bsky.social Incident Management Team has been deployed to Washington. Cal Fire IMT 4 arrived to the #SinlahekinFire in Okanogan Co. today. Glad to see the West Coast helping each other! #wawx

The #SinlahekinFire, burning north of Conconully, has shown very active fire behavior this afternoon. This one will be on the landscape producing smoke for a while... #wawx #wawildfire

Stumbled upon this spooky DNR Pano cam shot of the #SinlahekinFire last night. Really don't like the trajectory this fire is on. Several days of big growth potential lie ahead.

The #SinlahekinFire and #LittleGiantFire are both producing pyrocumulus clouds this afternoon as hot, dry, and windy conditions continue east of the Cascades. It is still late August. Fire behavior is not seeing a substantial decline.

Two new fires could be on the landscape for a while. The #SinlahekinFire (photo 1) west of Tonasket is in difficult terrain for initial attack. The #BradeenHillFire (photo 2) across the Columbia from Inchelium is being bombarded by aviation resources with structures threatened. #wawx #wawildfire
