KNDU has a couple of nice short videos showing the Cowiche fire, Flying over the Cowiche Fire and Aerial Footage of the Cowiche Fire, go here, and you should find a story and a video gallery with the two videos. Each is about one minute. I am unable to get the scripts that KNDU supplies to work in this post, so I have given up. Sorry.
Local media in WA are reporting here and here that the Cowiche fire in WA (west of Yakima) has been downgraded to 6,200 acres. I don't know acreage from official reports.
KNDU has a webpage devoted to the fire with links to photos, video clips, and reports.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
