Little Giant Fire - Entiat Upper Valley

Fire activity in the area remained intense throughout Saturday and into that evening, making it unsafe for personnel to conduct a complete and accurate assessment of structure losses. As fire conditions improved slightly today, Chief Jones and personnel from the Entiat Fire Department entered the area to conduct an initial assessment. They determined that approximately 26 structures were destroyed. 2 primary residences, 3 cabins, and 21 outbuildings. However, unpredictable fire behavior, compromised trees, rolling debris, and other hazards continued to pose significant risks and limited their ability to complete a full assessment of the damage.

As soon as conditions allow, the Chelan County Assessor’s Office will conduct a comprehensive assessment on the damage to include the total number of structures lost.

Chelan County Emergency Management will attempt to contact individual property owners with additional information as it becomes available.

The Little Giant Fire remains highly active in the area. Property owners will be permitted to return to their properties as conditions are determined to be safe. Your safety remains our absolute top priority. We understand how difficult and stressful this situation is for our community, and we greatly appreciate your continued patience, cooperation, and understanding during this challenging time.

For the latest information and updates on this, please refer to the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office and Chelan County Emergency Management websites and Facebook pages.
