As the Stayman fire in Chelan, Wash. continues to burn, and firefighters work to get the wildfire under control, the fire signals the start of wildfire season in much of the state.
Ryan Rodruck, Public Information Officer for the Stayman fire said that the fire “did die down somewhat overnight, however, winds and terrain are still challenging and we are continuing to address containment lines on the fire.”
“We are running into some hot and dry conditions. The wildfire season had somewhat of a delayed start just because of that extra moisture that we saw in the spring. However, as those temperatures have begun to rise, those fuels are drying out and creating an elevated wildfire risk,” Rodruck said. “Crews overnight got a lot done [at the Stayman fire,] but I look at it as a dress rehearsal for what we will see for the rest of the month and on into September,” Buehner said. “Fire Season is here folk, delayed but not cancelled.”
