Hi Betty,
Thank you very much for the news reports on all of the fires. I really appreciate it! Some of the updates I'd not heard until just now reading the ones you just posted. Yes we need to keep praying for God in His mercy to bring heavy rain to each state you mentioned which includes our state! Rain is desperately needed! God bless you!
Joanne

LEAVENWORTH, Wash. - Fire bosses hoped light winds would allow firefighters to rein in several fires burning in the Cascade Range on Friday.
The largest blaze, the 965-acre Dirty Face fire above Lake Wenatchee, remained 35 percent contained, but the weather was favorable, said Roland Emetaz, spokesman for the Central Washington Area Incident Management Team.
Although temperatures were climbing into the 90s, relative humidity was low and winds were light, helping nearly 700 firefighters to make progress, Emetaz said.
"The weather is on our side," he said, adding full containment is expected by next Wednesday if favorable conditions continue. The fire is about 10 miles northeast of Stevens Pass and 18 miles northwest of Leavenworth.
Fire engines brought from Western Washington fire departments to protect about 140 homes threatened by the fire were being sent home Friday, Emetaz said. Wildland fire engines remained to provide protection to residences, which were subject to evacuation orders earlier in the week, he said.

A fire burning eight miles east of Cle Elum, Washington, forced the evacuation of homes. Smoke from the fire blowing across Interstate 90 at mile marker 93 forced state patrol to close the interstate in both directions.
Meanwhile a fire that started on private property Thursday about 6 miles north of Cle Elum continued to burn out of control after scorching more than 400 acres of logging debris, brush, timber and grass, spokesman Dale Warriner said.
Officials closed the 29 Pines campground in the Teanaway area.
It was not immediately known how many people were staying at the campground. There were no reported injuries, Warriner said.
The cause was under investigation. The fire was being fought by about 100 firefighters and 200 more were on the way, Warriner said.
In the North Cascades National Park, the Shady fire remained at a little more than 100 acres. It was about 85 percent contained, the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho reported.

More than 85 firefighters were assigned to the fire, about 12 miles northwest of Stehekin. The fire was believed to have been caused by a person. No injuries were reported.
Meanwhile in Montana
A series of fires continued burning out of control late Friday along Interstate 90, part of which remained closed along a 90-mile stretch because of dense smoke and firefighting activity.
The eastbound lanes of the main highway through western Montana were reopened Friday night.
