now burning out of control in eastern Washington.
Firefighters from all over the State are sending what
help they can to help in the effort. One fire, east
of Wenatchee, is now considered a threat to the
Bonneville Power lines. Firefighters Tad Lean and
David Howitt from San Juan Island plus Chad Kimple
and Perry Pruett are manning brush engines from both
islands. Noel Monin from San Juan Fire District 3 is
the Strike Team Leader.
