STEVENS COUNTY, Wash. — Fire crews are making progress on the over 7,800-acre wildfire burning near Kettle Falls on Sunday afternoon, according to Department of Natural Resources.
As of Sunday afternoon, crews have contained 75% of the Hope Fire burning on roughly 7,880-acres, or just over 12 square miles of land.
DNR said crews are working on cleaning up firelines on the north and northwest side of the fire after a successful burn out on Saturday.
Sundays work is expected to take some extra time as the area has steep and rugged terrain.
