FIRE REPORT: Fires calm statewide with rain, cooler weather

MOSES LAKE — Air quality in the Columbia Basin was rated good Saturday after rainfall helped reduce fire activity throughout Washington state, according to AirNow.gov. Smoke from fires west and north of Grant County did have some impact on air quality.  

According to the National Weather Service, fire danger for Eastern Washington had been downgraded to no risk though parts of Okanogan, Ferry, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties still had hot, dry conditions contributing to fire danger. Most of the Cascades and Western Washington had little or no wildfire danger as of Saturday.  

Fires throughout the state had reduced activity according to reports from crews at the scene submitted through InciWeb.gov due to light to moderate rainfall across most of the state.
