About a dozen members of two fire departments responded yesterday evening to a wildfire south of U.S. Highway 12 in between Randle and Glenoma.
“It was nothing too big, compared with what else was going on,” Lewis County Fire DIstrict 14 Chief Jeff Jaques said this morning. “One and half acres, unknown cause at this point, on DNR-protected land.”
It was near milepost four off Falls Road, on property that had been logged a year or maybe two years ago, Jaques said.
The fire was under control fairly quickly and a crew stayed on till about 9:30 doing “mop up,” the chief said.
They also kept someone on fire watch there during the night, and will be back this morning to finish up, he said.
“And then we’ll continue to monitor it,” Jaques said.
