A couple days of light rain and a change in the wind direction have cleared the smoke out of town here. Not sure what the rain has done for the fire line yet.

The smoke wasn't so bad. I've seen worse in eastern Washington when the stubble fields get torched. When the Wenatchee forest fire went, it was ugly. Dry oak groves can burn hot enough to vitrify the soil.

I haven't heard of any reports of casualties from this fire yet.
