The Sinklahekin Fire in Okanogan County has now burned over 126,800 acres and, as of Friday evening, is 26% contained.
Early Monday, one new Level 3 evacuation was ordered for Crumbacher Road. This means evacuate immediately. No new orders were issued as of Friday.
Critical fire weather is expected Friday through Saturday night. Temperatures will be above normal, humidity will drop near 10%, and winds will increase through the weekend. Conditions may lead to rapid fire spread—use extreme caution.
State Route 97 is open, but several roads remain closed and manned by Law Enforcement in the fire area.

Fire agencies have asked the public to stay out of all evacuation zones and road closure areas. They said fire conditions remain active and can change quickly.
Entering closed areas without authorization not only puts you at risk but also delays emergency response and interferes with firefighting operations. Flying a drone near the fire can immediately ground firefighting aircraft, delaying critical aerial suppression efforts and increasing the risk to firefighters and the public.
