Gifford Pinchot Fire Growth Continues

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The High Lava Fire grew from 409 acres to nearly 1,500 acres as of Friday, according to the U. S. Forest Service. Hot, dry westerly winds contributed to the fire's rapid expansion in Stabler, Washington.

Firefighters have contained the fire's perimeter to 878 acres as of Saturday, but officials warn that the dry conditions and record-low winter snowpack continue to fuel fire growth. The U. S. Forest Service reports that fuels like grass and trees are critically dry, allowing fires to burn longer and spread rapidly as winds shift.
