Twisp River

The Red River Twisp

The Twisp River Fire grew overnight from 1,500 to 16,000 acres and is now a part of the Okanogan Complex. It is about 38 percent contained, but new fires overnight are stretching resources thin.  It sounds like many buildings have burned in the Twisp-Winthrop area.  Unfortunately, it will be another dry, windy day.   From the look of the Twisp River, they've dumped plenty of red fire retardant in the area to keep the fire from reaching town.  Today will be critical until the winds finally die down.

Amanda and family are still camping in Leavenworth, and she says thanks for all your good wishes.  I'll post any new news as it comes along...
