WA officials take stock as wildfire season winds down
With fall weather dampening wildland fire conditions in Washington, officials are beginning to reflect on the fire season.
Washington state saw more individual fires than last season, but fewer acres burned, preliminary data shows. Several sizable fires are still burning.
As of Oct. 10, there were 251,840 acres burned in Washington state and 1,851 documented ignitions, according to Northwest Interagency Coordination Center data released by the state Department of Natural Resources.
The data is not specific to Department of Natural Resources-managed lands, and encompasses wildland fire activity across all of Washington state.
