Tuesday, June 29, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Lightning starts 2 state wildfires By The Associated Press
The Hopkins Canyon fire near Nespelem, which was caused by lightning Saturday, was moving primarily through grass and sagebrush and was not threatening any structures, said Dave Nee, assistant fire-management officer for the Colville tribe. "It's on rocky, steep terrain," Nee said. "It's hard to get stuff in and around it." About 100 people were fighting the fire, about 75 miles west of Spokane, he said. Meanwhile, the Pot Peak Fire was burning in 300 acres of remote timberland about 15 miles northwest of the resort town of Chelan. The fire is on Forest Service land about 4 miles from Lake Chelan, the Forest Service said. It also was caused by lightning Saturday and was not threatening any structures.
