NEW -- The East Fork Fire located approximately one mile north of Lena Lake in the Brothers Wilderness is currently estimated at 6 acres in size. The fire is slowly creeping in sub-alpine timber. Three fire fighters hiked into the fire Thursday, 10/5/06 to assess the fire situation. Based on the resource values, topography and time of year, only minimal suppression actions will be undertaken.

 

For public safety, the Brothers Trail # 821 is closed to hikers at the wilderness boundary located just north of Lena Lake.

 

The Lake itself and Upper Lena Lake Trail #81, remains open to the public.

Aahh! That's what that lingering cloud has been over there for the last few days. I was wondering if something was burning.
