On Sunday July 18, 2021 District #1 was toned to a large smoke column above Gish Rd. On arrival they found an approximate 6 acre fire burning in grass, brush and reprod. The fire eventually grew to 16 acres as the District 1 crews spent the next 3 hours containing the fire. District 1 was assisted by crews from District 5 (Napavine) and District 8 (Salkum) as well as crews, heavy equipment operators and air support from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The fire was then turned over to DNR but District 1 crews remained onscene throughout the night and most of the next day.
