Origin/Location: 4 miles Northwest of Conconully, WA.

On August 3rd thunderstorms moved across northern Washington and ignited multiple new wildfires throughout the region. One of those fires was the Muckamuck fire that is located approximately 4 miles northwest of the community of Conconully. Level 3 evacuation notices have been issued for Salmon Meadows-Kerr area, Level 1 evacuation notice have been issued for Conconully, West Fork-Conconully, and Mineral Hill. Local firefighters with the support of resources from the Cub Creek 2 fire responded to the Muckamuck fire and have been working to establish containment lines. As of Yesterday, August 7th, 2021 shortly after 2:00pm Southwest Incident Management Team 2 assumed command of the Muckamuck fire in addition to the Cub Creek 2 Fire. Firefighters will be coordinating with heavy equipment to construct containment lines and establish structure protection to the surrounding community. Today resources will be scouting the area looking for holding features along Fish Lake Road on the eastern flank. On the southern perimeter firefighters continue to scout for holding features looking to utilize dozer lines from the Tripod Fire and the Mineral Hill Road. Firefighters are facing many challenges on the Muckamuck Fire as it is in an area which has not seen wildfire in over fifty years and for firefighter safety indirect suppression tactics have been implemented. Southeast of Conconully the Whitmore Fire continues to be visible as it has grown to 53,314. It is burning southeast of Omak and northwest of the town of Nespelem on the Colville Indian Reservation.
