High Steel Fire
Olympia, WA – September 23rd, 2022 — Resources from the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Washington Department of Natural Resources have held and contained the High Steel
Fire at 26 acres as of September 23rd.
The fire, which was first reported on Wednesday, September 21st is located southeast of the High Steel Bridge on Olympic National Forest. The cause of the incident is undetermined and
currently under investigation.
A Type 4 Incident Commander along with the Logan Hot Shot Crew, two engines, and a dozer responded quickly to the fire after it was reported. The fire is surrounded by three roads and
is plumbed with hose around most of the fire. By Thursday evening the crews were able to get containment around the fire and the lines are holding.
Currently there is one Incident Commander, two engines, a ten-person camp crew, and one water tender working in the area. There is no rain expected in the immediate area, but elevated
relative humidity and calm winds are a helpful factor.
There are currently no closures in the area, but officials are asking the public to avoid the area to ensure operations can continue smoothly. Smoke is visible in the area and may impact
traffic. If you encounter smoke, please put on your low-beam headlights and slow down.
Increased smoke production is anticipated. Current information on air quality may be found at Washington Smoke Blog at https://wasmoke.blogspot.com <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001nTL7F8d-GjcKHCyQoU
