The fire continues to grow and is only 3% contained.
MASON COUNTY, Wash. — Officials say the Bear Gulch fire will keep burning until winter, and it’s still growing. The priority now is keeping flames away from homes.
Overnight, the fire grew by about 1,200 acres, mostly in remote terrain, and fire crews say they’ll need help from Mother Nature to put it out.
“The weather is going to put this fire out, the firefighters are not going to be successful in putting this fire all the way out,” said Incident Commander Sonny Caldwell with Northwest Team 7.
