7/15/2015 Douglas Complex Fire Update A.M.

Crews will continue today strengthening and mopping up on the south fire. Firefighters have completed mop up work on the north fire and will continue to patrol and monitor the fire perimeter. Firefighting personnel have started to be released from the fire to return to their home units. The type 3 incident management team will be preparing to transition the fire back to the local agencies tomorrow morning.

The Douglas County Complex fires started Friday July 10, 2015 at approximately 6:00 PM, east of Waterville, WA. The five lightening sparked fires merged into two large fires. Both fires are being managed as the Douglas County Complex. 

There have been no reports of structures lost or injuries at this time. All evacuation orders have been lifted. Firefighters and the incident management team would like to thank everyone affected by the fire for their understanding and cooperation.
