Bear Gulch Fire nears 5,000 acres
Firefighters are working hard to get the Bear Gulch Fire under control.
It’s burning near Lake Cushman in the Olympic National Forest.
The fire is just shy of 5,000 acres and is at 3% containment.
It started on July 6.
No homes or buildings have burned.
Crews are using strategically placed sprinklers to protect private cabins, administrative facilities, bridges, the Staircase Campground, and other items.
