Little Giant Fire has burned 116,956 acres, burning 16 miles north of Leavenworth and has spread east.

Latest update

The Little Giant Fire, started by lightning on July 15, is located 30 miles NW of Leavenworth, WA. It is in the Chiwawa River drainage on the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. It was originally estimated at 5 acres. Rappelers were dispatched for initial attack, and a 21-person initial attack crew arrived on July 17. Minimal aerial support was available to support firefighters on the ground.

Due to winds and increased fire behavior, as well as poor access in steep, inaccessible country, all firefighters disengaged and hiked out on July 18. Warm weather, winds and low humidity has led to more active fire behavior since July 20th. 

Updates on alerts and evacuations can be obtained here on the Chelan County Emergency Management Facebook page, or the website at https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/emergency-management/pages/active-emergencies.
