Firefighters made good progress again today with rehabilitation, mopup, and fire suppression efforts on the fires within the Wenatchee Complex.

 

The Peavine fire and the north end of the TableMountain fire remain the highest priority for the Wenatchee Complex.  Managers from both Complexes have developed a plan to check the spread of the TableMountain fire along the eastern flank and are using a burn out operation along Highway 97 on the western flank.
