DNR, Forest Service on Peavine Canyon Fire

A fire was reported in the Peavine Canyon area southwest of Wenatchee on Wednesday afternoon.

Johnathan Nash, a supervisor with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said this morning,  the fire  was estimated at three and a half acres and was burning in grass, brush and slash.

The location is northwest of the junction at Number 2 Canyon Road with Forest Service Road #7101.

Crews from DNR and the Forest Service were on the scene most of the night and had constructed a handline around the fire.  Nash said winds were not a factor this morning.
