Now it is my turn! Been burning for 2 days now. The New West Omak Lake Fire is around 5 miles from my home and growing fast & totaly out of control! Jumping allmost all the fire lines they build. 35 of my neibors along with us are on the threaten list this time.
This was the update for the fire yesterday and the 8000 acres was figured at 4:00 PM. This fire has realy blown up last night we had high winds up to 30 mph most of the night. It is blowing out right now. Dist #8 was saying at 3:00 AM that it was making a run again. Here is the update. Mark H.

As of 6PM it's 8000 acres, 10% contained. Critical resources needed: 1. Crews, 2. Engines, Type 6, 3. Overhead; The fire was active on all fronts today, major runs were made to the south and southwest. Incresaed from 2500 acres at 0830 to 8000 acres by 1600. Portions of the fire are still in steep rocky terrain, the south and southwest flanks are moving into more moderate terrain, however this area is dotted with scattered ranches and farms concerns for structure protection have increased. Currently burning in scattered timber, grass and sage moving into crop land areas where grain crops and farm and ranch building may be threatened. The fire made major runs to the south and southwest today, active burning on all flanks was observed with spotting ahead of the fire to the south and southwest. Fire was driven by strong gusty winds.
