Grizzly Bear Complex Fire Continues to Burn

An area of more than 2,250 acres is burning this week in the Grizzly Bear Complex Fire in Columbia County. The fire is burning in the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, about 20 miles southeast of Dayton. Multiple fires in the area were started by lightning strikes on Thursday.

As of Monday, about 50 firefighters were battling the fires, which are 0% contained. Numerous forest roads in the area are closed.

Dayton resident David Frame took this photo Friday about a mile west of Godman Springs, looking into the west fork of Butte Creek.
