7/7/2025:
Infrared imagery showed diminishing heat in several areas due to aggressive suppression action and fuels consuming in place. The steep
north aspect shows scattered heat in heavy fuels and snags. The primary fire activity is confined to the north aspect of Arbuckle Mountain
with smoldering, creeping, and flare-ups in heavy fuels on very steep, inaccessible slopes.

On July 6, a human-caused fire was reported in Olympic National Forest near the Mt. Rose Trailhead along the Lake Cushman
Corridor. The fire – named the Bear Gulch Fire – is burning on a steep, rocky slope north of Lake Cushman and southeast of the
Staircase area of Olympic National Park. The fire is approximately 200 acres. There is no current threat to structures or nearby
communities.


Due to the steep and rocky terrain, aviation resources offer the safest and most effective method for fighting the fire. Scoopers have
been responding using water from Lake Cushman which has mitigated spread. Four interagency engines are responding to accessible
areas near FS-24 and the lower ends of the fire. A Type 3 Incident Management Team will be assuming command of the fire later this
evening.

The following recreation sites are inaccessible:


Staircase Area and Campground (in Olympic National Park)
Bear Gulch Day Use Area
Mt. Rose Trailhead
Dry Creek Trailhead
Copper Creek Trailhead


Public and firefighter safety remains our top priority. To support this effort visitors are being asked to avoid the Lake Cushman/Staircase
area.

Latest update 7/8/2025 -
Current situation: Most recent fire growth has been in the remote and inaccessible upper reaches of the Entiat River, surrounded by
steep rocky cliffs. The risk of this fire escaping the valley bottom and crossing thousands of vertical feet of rocky terrain is considered
very remote, but it is still a possibility under worst-case conditions.
The current trend toward hot, dry and windy weather is expected to produce continued active fire behavior. Firefighters continue to
engage in a full suppression strategy wherever access is possible. Two interagency hotshot crews working from an operations base at
Myrtle Lake have built direct containment line on the southern flank of the fire and have installed fire hoses on this line. Three Type 1
helicopters are in use to drop buckets of water on the southern fire’s edge to reinforce the fireline. Firefighters are using masticators,
chippers and feller-bunchers to build and strengthen existing containment lines at Cow Creek, Larch Creek, Ice Creek, and extending
from Tommy Creek to Shady Pass Road and Twentyfive Mile Creek. Firefighters have completed structure protection work around
recreation residences. The Incident Management Team is also completing work to suppress the Apple Acres fire and will assist with
initial attack efforts as needed on other new fires in surrounding areas.
Fire Restrictions: 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: . In cooperation with the US Forest Service, Chelan County has issued a Level 1 Fire Advisory for the Holden Village,
including the Rio Tinto Mine water treatment plant. The advisory DOES NOT include Lucerne, which is on Lake Chelan. A Level 1
advisory asks that people in the impacted area monitor fire activity. See Chelan County Emergency Management.
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: For smoke and air quality information, please visit: Washington Smoke Blog

7/7/2025 - Final Update
Yesterday, crews continued mop-up using infrared units to locate hot spots. Rehab activities continued by crews and with
assistance from a dozer. Hoses and equipment used during suppression efforts were backhauled. The primary focus for
mop-up was the north end of the fire where the burn out operations occurred, and crews made good progress.

Today, crews will continue focusing on mop-up, rehabilitation and patrol, before demobilizing and returning to
home districts or reassignment to other fires. The Siegel Fire will be turned over to local DNR crews who will focus
on continued patrol of the fireline, mop-up of hotspots as well as complete any additional needed rehabilitation.

Smoke will be visible over the next few days. Partially and unburned fuels exist within the fire perimeter and will
continue to smolder. In fire terms, areas of the Siegel Fire had a dirty burn - an area where unburned pockets of fuel
are mixed with burned areas and susceptible to burning. These small pockets are unlikely to spread beyond the
containment line. Smoke from interior burning is generally not a concern. If you do see some active burning close to
the fire’s edge or burning that is a concern, please call Northeast Washington Interagency Communications Center
(NEWICC) at 509-685-6900.

Our Incident Management Team would like to thank everyone in the surrounding communities for their support of
the firefighters and our team. It was instrumental to our success!
