Tunnel Creek Fire Update
QUILCENE, Wash., September 22, 2025 —Over the weekend the Tunnel Creek Fire grew to 515 acres. The fire area was predominantly blanketed by smoke preventing direct observations. According
to infrared heat mapping, much of the growth occurred to the east, with a small amount of growth to the west. The fire is still confined between the north and south Tunnel Creek drainages.
Poor visibility continues to prevent aircraft from dropping buckets of water on the fire and additional reconnaissance. If conditions allow reconnaissance flights are scheduled for today.
The fire received less than two tenths of an inch of rain on Sunday. Increased moisture will moderate fire behavior, slow progression and mitigate the impact from smoke.
Fire activity is expected to follow a pattern of increasing during warm, dry periods and decreasing during cooler, wetter conditions. This cycle is likely to continue until sustained
fall rains fully extinguish the fire.
