Status Latest update 7/3/2025 -
Current situation: After two days of hot and drying conditions, the Pomas Fire has grown moderately within
the Entiat River drainage and remains mostly within Glacier Peak Wilderness. It is burning in extremely steep
and rugged terrain without road access for firefighters and equipment. More than 500 firefighters and support
staff are engaged in a full suppression strategy to minimize the acres burned and minimize smoke impacts to
surrounding communities.
Two interagency hotshot crews are building direct containment line on the southern flank of the fire near
Myrtle Lake, with close aerial support from three Type 1 helicopters dropping buckets of water on the fire’s
edge. Additional crews, engines, timber fallers, dozers and heavy equipment are working along Tommy
Creek Road, Shady Pass Road toward Chelan, and the trail systems. Firefighters are also laying sprinkler
hoses around recreation residences and assisting with initial attack on other new fires in surrounding areas.
Fourth of July: Don’t let your fun turn into flames! Fireworks and explosives are never allowed on National
Forest System lands. Additionally, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest has issued Stage 2 Public Use
Restrictions that prohibit campfires, recreational shooting, and other activities, due to increasing fire danger.
Evacuations: Currently, there are no evacuation orders and no threat to structures or homes.
Closures: The Glacier Peak Wilderness on the Entiat Ranger District, including Ice Lakes, Silver Falls Trail
and Campground are closed. The fire is 12 air miles from the Pacific Crest Trail and currently poses no threat
to that trail.
Smoke conditions: With the current weather, smoke may become more visible from nearby communities,
including Entiat, Chelan, and Winthrop.

Status 7/4/2025 - Update
The Siegel Fire is burning primarily between Bonnie Lake and S. Texas Ferry Road. The Siegel Fire started at approximately
2:55pm on July 2, 2025 and spread rapidly north, primarily driven by winds as a cold front passed through the area.
Yesterday, firefighters worked to connect the fire line around the fire where accessible. Indirect lines were completed for
feasibility and safety, then burned out to the fires front to secure the line. Steep cliffs and uneven terrain between Texas
Ferry Road and Bonnie Lake were carefully evaluated for firefighter safety and fire line construction. Hose lays were
placed in areas of minimal fire activity and crews began mop-up activities to 40 feet inside the fire perimeter. The heaviest
fire activity occurred on the northeast portion of the fire. Aerial resources were utilized when fire activity picked up to
manage small flare-ups due to incomplete burning of vegetation in the interior. Night shift resources monitored and
patrolled the fire throughout the night.
Today, crews will continue to identify opportunities for fire line construction and improve lines from yesterday. Mop-up
activities will continue and expand throughout the day along with gridding and patrolling areas with minimal fire activity.
Small amounts of fire growth will occur with burn out operations resulting in increased smoke visible in the area.
Spokane County Fire District 3 Fire Chief Cody Rohrbach would like to thank our first responders for sacrificing the
Independence Day holiday so the community is able to celebrate safely and responsibly.
Northeast Washington Interagency Type 3 Incident Management Team #2 assumed command of the fire as of
12:30pm yesterday.
