Fire information spokesperson Anneta Pritchard says the fire jumped a couple of creeks over the weekend and is on a slope above the town.

Monday (July 29) was a relatively inactive day for the Pioneer Fire on the northern shores of Lake Chelan, but the town of Stehekin remains directly in its crosshairs. The blaze, which began on June 8 from undetermined causes, remains only about a mile-and-a-half from the small community of 95 residents, all of whom are under a Level 3 evacuation notice...

Chelan County Commissioner Tiffany Gering says she's fearful about residents refusing to leave.

The Level 3 Level 3 applies to the area from just north of Moore Point through the Stehekin Valley, including the Stehekin Landing and west to High Bridge.

Chelan County Commissioner Tiffany Gering told her fellow commissioners Monday morning that there have been numerous problems with communications.

The fire has spread north along the shoreline and evacuation notices have extended northward, with the Stehekin Valley area now under Level 1.
