Lower Sugarloaf Fire Update Friday, October 10, 2025

The Lower Sugarloaf Fire shows improved containment, prompting the reassignment of firefighting resources to match the diminished workload. Despite fewer flames, significant hazards persist, particularly from unstable, fire-weakened trees and concealed hot spots that can injure firefighters and civilians alike. Fire managers are limiting access to burned areas, and land closures are in effect to protect public safety. A low-pressure system is moving into the Northwest, bringing cooler temperatures and a chance of thunderstorms, which could further complicate recovery efforts. Evacuation notices, including Level 3 (Go Now!

), are currently in place around Chelan County. Firefighting personnel are actively working to mitigate risks, including cutting hazard trees and patrolling for residual hot spots. Authorities stress that public compliance with closure orders is crucial to prevent additional dangers. The community is urged to stay informed through official channels for updates on fire conditions and safety measures.
