As the Omak-Okanogan Chronicle reported today, crews from DNR and other agencies working on the Oden Road Fire in north central Washington were challenged by gusty winds yesterday as a weather front moved through the area. A few small spot blazes broke out beyond the containment lines but were quickly tamped down. DNR’s Flickr page has several photos of the fire.
The lightning-caused fire of approximately 10,000 acres is about 90 percent contained. Crews hope to reach 100 percent containment by this weekend. Maps, lists of roads affected, and updates can be viewed on the federal goverment’s Incident Information System web site
