Weather could quell fires burning northeast of Darrington
DARRINGTON — Damp weather could help quell three lightning-ignited fires burning in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest northeast of Darrington.
The Boulder Lake fire grew from 100 to 400 acres on Friday. That’s causing much of the visible smoke in the area, said Amy Linn, U.S. Forest Service spokesperson.
The Suiattle River fire, outside the Glacier Peak Wilderness near Huckleberry Mountain, grew from 5 to 15 acres Friday. There was not an updated perimeter size available for the Lake Toketie fire, which was at 90 acres early Friday.
Those fires were ignited by lightning and driven by relatively low humidity, Linn said. Weather conditions over the next several days “could mitigate that somewhat,” she said.
