SPOKANE – On Sunday, firefighters continued to
focus efforts on mop-up activities, suppression repair and pulling equipment
off the fire lines.
The Wellesley
Fire is 100% contained and is expected to stay within its perimeters. The Yale Fire is 99% contained – a 4%
percent increase from yesterday with minimal fire activity. Smoke will continue
to be visible for several days, however local fire units continue to patrol and
monitor the fire lines.
Additional fire resources, including aviation
units, were released on Sunday and will continue to be released throughout
Monday to return to their home units or other fires. On Tuesday at 6:00 a.m.,
operations will officially transfer to local fire districts and the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources. The remainder of Northwest Incident
Management Team 11 will be released. Today will be the last update.
There are no evacuations. Please check with the
Spokane County Sheriff or Spokane Emergency Management (https://www.spokanecounty.org/1460/Emergency-Management) for
the most up-to-date information. We ask that citizens using the roadways
continue to be aware of hazards that may be adjacent to the road. For the next
few days, we encourage caution on recreational use (for example, bicyclists) of
areas roads near the fire due to fire traffic and operations.

to sincerely thank the public, local agencies and fire districts for their
support of the Spokane Complex.
