SEATTLE (AP) — The blaze burning in the Olympic National Forest is now at 100 acres and expected to grow under Sunday’s warm and dry conditions.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Donna Nemeth (NEH’-mihth) says windy conditions will likely help the fire grow. She says a dramatic smoke plume is likely to rise again.
Nemeth says officials have ordered six additional crews and two helicopters to help the current crew battling the blaze.
She says officials suspect the fire was human caused, but haven’t pinpointed the exact origin.
