Bolt Creek Fire containment drops to 7%; evacuation levels updated
The Bolt Creek Fire continues to burn in Snohomish County, now burning 11,277 acres and is only 7% contained.
There’s a Red Flag Warning in effect Monday from noon till 7 p.m. Fire officials say the biggest concern are the humidity levels, which continue to drop.
Over 150 firefighters are battling the Bolt Creek Fire. Officials say part of the fire is burning in an area that is not accessible.
“It’s burning through a lot of mountains, a lot of areas where it’s just not accessible and the biggest piece we’re having right now and the biggest reason for the evacuation changes are right along just North Skykomish, we’re having a lot of intense heat with some scattered heat in here and it’s staying right along this side,” said Andy Nesmith, a PIO working the Bolt Creek Fire.
