Smoke has increased from the Williams Mine Fire near Trout Lake, Wash. as low humidity and high temps have spurred fire in unspent fuels within the blaze. A heat advisory for the area continues through Saturday, Sept. 7 until 9 p.m.
There were no operational burning operations yesterday. A small spot fire located in rough terrain was reported approximately 1.3 miles from the fire edge. Crews continued to improve contingency lines in preparation for future firing operations if conditions warrant.
