Saw a "controlled" burn between Pullman and Moscow yesterday. Makes me wonder
how uncommon common sense must be. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Since the wind is coming out of the east, this smoke is most likely
coming from the fires by Dixie, and near Lowell on highway 12 (National
Interagency Fire Center). It should clear later today as the wind is due to
shift from east to SSW. However, tomorrow may be another smoky day. Not
fun, but we should probably get used to it. Predictions...predictions.

wildfire update: 1 pm, Wednesday, September 12<BR><BR><BR><BR>Washington
wildfire update: 1 pm, Wednesday, September 12 <BR><BR>Major wildfires
burning in Washington state as of 10 a.m., Sept 12, 2012. CLICK map for larger
image. <BR><BR>Here?s an update on some of the largest and most hazardous
fires: <BR><BR>Wenatchee Fire Complex: This complex north and
west of the City of Wenatchee consists of dozens of wildfires, the largest and
most dangerous of them include the: <BR><BR>Canyons Fire, which has
burned about 2,000 acres of shrub and grass directly west of Wenatchee.
<BR><BR>Poison Canyon Fire, which has burned about 1,000 acres of shrub and
pine trees south of Cashmere. <BR><BR>Byrd Canyon Fire, which has burned about
10,000 acres of grass and shrub north of Entiat. <BR><BR>First Creek Fire,
which has burned about 60 acres on remote, steep ground south of Lake Chelan.
<BR><BR>Pyramid Fire, which as burned about 100 acres of dying and diseased
timber in the Entiat drainage north of Entiat (not currently staffed).
Approximately 620 firefighters from state, local and federal agencies, plus
aircraft, are working on these fires ? all started by lightning Saturday
night.<BR><BR>Barker Fire Complex: Burning in dry grass and shrub in Douglas
and Grant counties about 14 miles northwest of Grand Coulee, this complex
includes the Barker Canyon Fire (17,365 acres), and the Leahy Fire (which grew
to 60,800 acres yesterday). The 186 firefighters on this complex are working
to establish control lines. Fires in the complex have a high potential to
spread further. Containment was estimated at 20 percent this morning. See the
Barker Fire Complex web page on www.inciweb.org for more information.
<BR><BR>Yakima Fire Complex: Approximately 95 small lightning-caused fires are
burning in brush, grass, sage and timber on county, state and federal lands in
the Table Mountain Recreation Area of Yakima and Kittitas counties. Portions
of the Table Mountain Area and several roads are closed. Campfires are
prohibited on all county, state and federal lands in the area. About 50
structures are threatened. The 377 personnel working this fire include crews
from DNR, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and several Kittitas
County Fire Districts. Containment was estimated at 10 percent this morning.
See the Yakima Fire Complex web page on www.inciweb.org for more
information. <BR><BR>Manilla Creek Fire Complex: Consisting of several
fires burning on the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, this
lightning-caused complex of wildfires has burned about 1,662 acres and was 70
percent contained as of this morning. The 256 personnel from DNR and other
agencies assigned to this fire are working today to maintain fire lines and
working closely with the tribal archeologist as they do fire mop-up tasks.
Smoke from these and other fires in the region have produced air quality
advisories for residents living on and near the reservation.
<BR><BR>Cascade Creek Fire: This 1,937-acre fire, started by lightning
Saturday night, is burning in timber on the south slope of Mount Adams, mostly
in the Mount Adams Wilderness Area. As of this morning, containment was zero
percent but fire growth was minimal. The 360 personnel are focused today on
keeping the fire from moving east towards the Yakama Nation Reservation,
state, and private lands. (Crews finished wrapping the historic Gotchen Guard
Station southeast of the fire with protective foil yesterday.) More
information on the Cascade Creek Fire web page on www.inciweb.org
<BR><BR>Highway 141 Fire: Full containment of this 1,644-acre fire east of
Highway 141, about 2 miles north of White Salmon, is anticipated later today.
Level 2 (be ready to leave) or Level 3 (leave now) evacuations are cancelled.
The cause of the fire, which burned on private and state lands, is under
investigation.<BR><BR>Seeya round town, Moscow.<BR><BR>Tom Hansen<BR>Moscow,
