The Nakia Creek fire, as it’s called, is burning on the extremely steep Larch Block section of the Yacolt Burn State Forest near Camas, Washington, approximately 20 miles northeast of Portland, Oregon. Clark County officials have said that the fire is currently 5% contained as of Sunday night, a “very rough” estimate due to the large amount of smoke in the air. There have also been smaller fires reported at Chelatchie Prairie and Sunset Campground, with others in Skamania County; more information has yet to be reported on them. Better numbers are expected later today as emergency services scope out the scene.
