2:30 PM 8-13-22: The fire burning West of Lake Wenatchee in the White River drainage has been very active and grown substantially with sustained winds.  Firefighting resources on this fire yesterday included two Interagency Hotshot crews, rappelers, and a dozer. Today, six Fire Boss AT-802 aircraft, two larger aircraft and two helicopters have been observed working the fire which appears to be moving downslope and Westerly from it’s initial ignition point about 4000 feet above the valley floor. Starting to get some ash fallout where we are near the state park.
