πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

State fire resources were mobilized for three wildfires in Washington state on July 25-29, 2026, according to Washington State Patrol records. The Sinlahekin Fire in Okanogan County (9,000 acres) and Ransier Fire in Yakima County (500 acres) prompted requests for state assistance. The Bradeen Hill Fire in Stevens County also required mobilization.

Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste authorized the mobilizations after requests from local fire officials. The Sinlahekin Fire is threatening homes and infrastructure, with Level 2 and 3 evacuations in effect. The Ransier Fire is near White Swan and growing. State Emergency Operations Center at Camp Murray is activated to Level 2 to coordinate resources.

Mobilization specialists ordered six wildland strike teams for the Sinlahekin Fire and two for the Ransier Fire. The State Fire Marshal's Office is coordinating dispatch of resources. The Bradeen Hill Fire is burning in brush and trees near Rice, Stevens County.
