Latest News & Current Events

It’s been a tough fire season, with Chelan County experiencing its largest wildfire in its history. But the time to be vigilant is not over.

Sgt. Jason Reinfeld of Chelan County Emergency Management briefly recaps the Little Giant Fire, which is now nearly contained. He also speaks of the post-fire flooding and debris flows that may result on these now barren lands. The photo behind Reinfeld is of a massive debris flow in August in the upper Entiat Valley that was a result of a rainstorm on fire-ravaged lands. Reinfeld urges people, especially those where wildfires have recently burned, to be vigilantly observant when we have rain forecasted. Listen in and make a Chelan County Connection. @ChelanCountyGov
