Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz reports:

The Newell Road fire is one of the toughest fires to date this year. High speed winds and dry fields are making it challenging. 

We have the best of the best on this fire — over 17 air resources, 7 strike teams, 35 engines and so many brave hard working committed local, state and federal fire fighters and leaders. 

Please hold all our firefighters and the community in your thoughts and prayers.

    Thoughts and prayers for all the brother's and sisters that are out on the fires. I am a local fire fighter my self, frim Sunnyside and I know it's never easy being out on a fire especially with the wind and hot weather.
