Update on the Anacortes Forestlands fire at Little Cranberry Lake.
DNR and Mount Erie fire staff are working to create a control perimeter around the fire. Work will continue until dark and then a night shift will watch the fire through the night. Anacortes Fire Department staff will also be onsite.
DNR is pleased with the work being accomplished today to begin the containment process. Cooler weather is forecast for tomorrow which will help firefighters. Wind conditions are favorable and two additional crews will be joining the firefight tomorrow. Due to the size of the fire, it will take multiple days to fully contain the fire.
An investigation is underway in to the source of the fire. Any pertinent information should be shared with the Anacortes Police Department.
