WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Lightning sparked up to a dozen small fires in north-central Washington since Sunday, but most were tiny and were being attacked by firefighters.
Forest Service spokeswoman Robin DeMario said more lightning is forecast for evenings and this coming weekend.
Meanwhile, about 160 firefighters are being demobilized from the Wenatchee River complex of fires as those wind down. Those fires cover some 1,700 acres.
The Rainbow Bridge fire is at 4,000 acres and continues to burn about 2.5 miles up the remote Stehekin Valley.
