The lightning-caused fire that continues to burn directly adjacent to and east of Nespelem about 20 mintues north of Coulee Dam has torched over 15,000 acres.
That’s according to InciWeb, an official online fire resource page. As of Wednesday morning, the fire is demonstrating active behavior including torching, backing and running. The fire is predicted to continue to move east toward Keller Ridge and push to the southeast toward Buffalo Lake over the next 24 hours.
