Wildfire Status:
The Shoofly Fire, currently active on the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, has burned approximately 104 acres and is located about 25 miles west of Lake Wenatchee, Washington. The fire is situated on the southeast slope of Shoofly Mountain, characterized by steep terrain and sub-alpine fir vegetation, along with an older burn scar on its western flank. As of the latest update, 63% of the fire's perimeter is contained, and minimal fire activity has been observed, with the fire primarily smoldering in dead and down fuels without significant movement.
Fire management efforts are being led by Incident Commander Andrew Mendiguren and focus on a full suppression strategy. Ground and aerial firefighting resources are actively working to control the fire efficiently and safely. Currently, there are no personnel directly engaged on the ground, as the situation is being monitored remotely. Planned actions include continuous remote monitoring and patrolling of control lines over the next few days.
Weather conditions are a critical factor, with warm temperatures expected to reach the 80s and low humidity levels due to a high-pressure system building over the area. There is a slight chance of wetting rain and lightning starting Wednesday morning, along with consistent winds of around 10 mph. Campground, road, and trail closures are in effect, with details available on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest website. The estimated date for full containment of the fire is projected for October 31, 2024.
