The Discovery Fire about 30 miles west of Yakima grew to 850 acres by this afternoon. About 370 personnel from DNR, U.S. Forest Service, Yakama Tribe and other agencies worked on this fire today. The Discovery Fire has the potential to grow as it burns through down timber and standing trees with poor forest health due to insect damage. See details from incident command. The Ahtanum State Forest remains closed until further notice.
