OLYMPIA, Wash., – Fire management officials continue to respond to the Tunnel Creek and Bear Gulch Fires on the east side of the Olympic National Forest.

Residents and visitors may notice an increase in smoke, especially near the Lake Cushman and Hood Canal area. The winds are forecast to subside by Tuesday evening.

This will be the last update unless fire conditions change.
The Perry Fire is 1,763 acres and 30% contained. Due to incoming weather, firefighters have been repositioned from the spike camp on Ross Lake to preposition for initial attack and continued operations. A Type-3 helicopter will provide aerial delivered water operations and firefighter support as conditions and visibility safely allow. Visit Inciweb for up-to-date information on the Perry Fire.

Firefighters mopped up the edges of the Neve Fire; the fire is now contained. A fire is considered contained and controlled when a control line has been completed around the fire, including all spot fires, and the control line can reasonably be expected to stop the fire’s spread. Both fires continue to be monitored.
