Newby Lake Fire is 95% contained and in patrol status, where it will likely remain until fire season ends this year. Firefighters are returning command of the fire to the local Forest Service and Washington DNR units tomorrow morning. One local crew, and two engines remain to continue patrols.
There was very little wispy smoke visible from burning inside the fire perimeter yesterday afternoon and none visible along the eastern perimeter. Precipitation yesterday, today and forecast for tomorrow will further moderate fire activity.
No further updates about the Newby Lake fire are anticipated.
