Two outbuildings were destroyed and one home was damaged. It burned nearly 2,000 acres. The fire forced evacuations, which have since been lifted. According to the Northeast Washington Interagency Team, the Green Fire also sparked on July 27 near Riverside. This fire did not destroy any homes. It burned 1,480 acres.

It scorched 73 acres near Concunully. One firefighter suffered minor injuries.
