The fire, on the north shore of Lake Chelan, was started July 15 by an abandoned campfire. It has burned 33,115 acres and was 35 percent contained, with 23 miles of fireline still to be cleared around the perimeter.

It was one of two major fires burning in Washington state. The other, the Pickens Mountain fire, had burned about 2,200 acres, five miles north of Tonasket, near the Canadian border.

The winds kicked up after dark Thursday, blowing down Lake Chelan and burning about two acres inside fire containment lines near Antilon Lake, said Greg Thayer, spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.

The fire did not threaten the evacuated homes in the Swanson, Purtteman and Cooper gulches, where crews had been working for days to reinforce protective firelines.

"They held good," Thayer said.

So the Chelan County sheriff's office rescinded the evacuation order for those areas Friday, but it remained in effect for the Antilon Lake and Mitchell Creek campgrounds, both of which sustained fire damage last week, he said.

Effective at 11:59 p.m. Friday, campfires are banned on the Chelan Ranger District of the Wenatchee National Forest except in wilderness areas.

There are about 1,200 people assigned to the Deer Point fire, which burned four vacation cabins as it consumed timber and brush in an area between the lake and the Sawtooth Mountains more than 12 miles long.

Crews were bulldozing fireline Friday along Cooper Ridge, on the eastern end of the Sawtooths and the northern reaches of the fire, near the Chelan-Okanogan county line. Bulldozers and excavators were reworking a 100-yard-wide firebreak built in 1970.

Northeast of Lake Chelan, the Pickens Mountain fire had burned 2,200 acres of private and U.S. Bureau of Land Management property, but was nearly 80 percent contained Friday, said Cindy Reichelt, a spokeswoman for interagency team managing the fire.

Two houses burned Wednesday, when the fire got away from a trash barrel, and there were unconfirmed reports that two other buildings had burned, she said.

Louisa Dunbar, 65, watched the flames come within less than a mile of her two-bedroom mobile home Wednesday night, but she didn't want to leave her two dogs and three chickens behind.

"I just prayed, and every time I prayed the fire would die down and go in another direction. I have a lot of faith," she told The Wenatchee World.

Dunbar lost everything two years ago when the Rocky Hull fire, just north of where the Pickens Mountain fire burns, destroyed her house and 36 others.

Reichelt said 160 firefighters were assigned the Pickens Mountain fire, doing primarily mopup now. Some crews would probably start going home Saturday, she said.
