Wildfire in WA

A fire near Cowiche WA, reported on Sunday afternoon July 18 around 2:30 PM (PDT), is now burning in the order of 10,000 acres. References to reports on the fire from the wildland fire hotlist have been removed because the link is no longer working. 

In the first clip (KNDU) shown here, from this morning, you will see footage of a heavy tanker(s) working the fire. I believe that the heavy tanker(s) are an Aero Union P-3. The you tube video was taken on Sunday, July 18. Note - you must enable javascript to see both the KNDU clip and the youtube video.

Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today reports on this fire here. He has a good map of the fire.

This has been a busy week for wildfires in Washington. The fire near Cowiche follows on the heals of the 19,291 acre Swakane Wildfire that was first reported around noon on July 10, 2010, it is 75% contained at the time I wrote this (3PM EDT on July 19, 2010). Note the link to the Swakane Wildfire on Inciweb has expired. 

Note, I made a revision Monday evening, changing the embedded video to one from KNDU's morning news report. Dan't ask, it is complicated. :-)

Edited and revised on November 30, 2015 to remove expired links.
