Thick dark smoke is passing over Carlton now (12:36pm) and drifting up valley.
Re: New smoke plume sw of Twisp
Smoke is from the Little Giant fire at top of Entiat Valley
Re: New smoke plume sw of Twisp
Why did all the local fire trucks just go down valley with their sirens blaring?
Re: New smoke plume sw of Twisp
The smoke was reported via a 911 call to the emergency dispatch center in Okanogan. That triggers an alarm or tone to FD6.

Friends said 2 fire trucks went up Twisp River around 12:30. Anything?
Also, WildCAD did list Black Pine, as a false alarm.

Little giant fire has spotted on the hillside at about 4,000 feet up from the lake & there are more than 1 spot fire- 1 spot fire is near safe harbor ( I think )
Re: New smoke plume sw of Twisp
Can you clarify which side of the lake? Of course I can look up Safe Harbor. Says it's on the north side. And it says Safety Harbor.
Don't see the smoke now. Wind must have shifted. Will go to Caltopo.

Re: New smoke plume sw of Twisp
The little giant fire has spotted in several place - wind was so bad that it carried hot ash across the lake to Manson - the northern shores of Manson is on fire right now - getting this information from watch duty.
