A new wildfire is burning in the Cascades, potentially from one of the multiple lightning strikes that occurred over the area yesterday from a passing storm.

This is the WILDCAT FIRE, and according to the lat/long given via wildcad.net, the fire appears to be burning in the middle of the forest near Cedar Creek in Goose Prairie (Yakima County), Washington, in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

This area is located in the Cascade Mountain Range, which is situated on the eastern slopes of the Cascades.

The fire has burned through approximately 10 acres of timber.

Resources en route include one attack plane with two scoopers, with an unknown additional number on order.
