Friday June 30, 2017
The fires are located in Chelan, Grant, and Douglas Counties. Ownership includes BLM, state, and private lands, including critical Sage Grouse habitat. Due to more accurate mapping and better visibility for aerial observations, the number of acres burned has been reduced, and it was discovered that the Sutherland Canyon and Straight Hollow fires did not burn together. They did however burn to within ¼ mile of each other. The Incident Command Post was moved to Quincy High School to be closer to the active parts of the wildfires.
