Eneas Peak Fire Being Monitored in Boundary County

The U.S. Forest Service is aware of and is currently monitoring the fire on Eneas Peak in north Boundary County. The fire started from lightning strikes and was discovered four days ago. It is estimated to have burned about five acres.

The USFS is monitoring the fire right now due to the very steep, dangerous, and inaccessible terrain, and because no structures are threatened, Andrew O’Neel, Director

Emergency Management and Boundary County Public Information Officer wrote in a press release.

The USFS is drawing up plans to attack the fire with aircraft, possibly today if aircraft become available. Smoke will continue to be visible from the area for the foreseeable future.
