Timeline

2026-08-25 — agency last updated the record (1 day active).

Status

A fire record's lifecycle: discovered → active → contained → historical. It's never marked “extinguished” — the record persists.

This fire is currently on the active WFIGS feed, last updated 2026-08-25 19:42 UTC. When it ages out of the active feed, this page persists as a historical record — marked “no longer in the active feed” as of its last-seen date — and is never marked “extinguished.” Containment is not the same as fall-off: a fully-contained fire stays on the feed until the agencies age it out.

Official information

For this incident’s official status, evacuation orders, and emergency information, go to the responsible agencies — this page is a data record, not an emergency service. WFIGS does not publish a per-incident public link, so these are the official portals to search:

InciWeb — the national incident information system (search by name).
Washington Department of Natural Resources — state lead on wildfire on DNR-protected lands.
USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region — federal lead on national forest lands in Washington.
National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) — interagency coordination; publisher of the WFIGS system of record this map reads.
National Interagency Fire Center — publisher of the WFIGS system of record.

Where this comes from

Every field is the WFIGS incident record from the National Interagency Fire Center, shown with its agency “valid as of” time. Missing fields are shown as missing, never zero or inferred. A perimeter is drawn only when the agency published one; nearby heat detections are NASA FIRMS, which are not confirmed fire. See the data sources & methodology page.
