Siegel Fire 2025
Siegel Fire has burned 700 acres, burning 14 miles south of Cheney.
Latest update
The Siegel Fire will be turned over to the local unit (DNR and Spokane County Fire District 3) as of 0600. Crews will focus on continued patrol of the fireline, mop-up of hotspots as well as complete any additional needed rehabilitation.
Smoke will be visible over the next few days. Partially and unburned fuels exist within the fire perimeter and will continue to smolder. In fire terms, areas of the Siegel Fire had a dirty burn - an area where unburned pockets of fuel are mixed with burned areas and susceptible to burning. These small pockets are unlikely to spread beyond the containment line. Smoke from interior burning is generally not a concern. If you do see some active burning close to the fire’s edge or burning that is a concern, please call Northeast Washington Interagency Communications Center (NEWICC) at 509-685-6900.
Our Incident Management Team would like to thank everyone in the surrounding communities for their support of the firefighters and our team. It was instrumental to our success!
