Firefighters have reassessed how much land was blackened by a wildlands fire west of Yakima earlier this week and now say the figure stands at 121 acres.
An initial estimate had placed the burned area at 30 acres. Fire officials said Friday that the number of acres burned was adjusted after crews walked the entire fire line with GPS units.
The initial estimate was given by pilots, officials said. The fire, which burned an area about 4 miles northeast of Tampico on Wednesday, prompted a response that included two planes dropping fire retardant, two water-dumping helicopters and firefighters from more than a half- dozen departments from across the Upper Yakima Valley.
