State fire assistance has been mobilized for three wildfires in Washington State as of July 29, 2026. The Sinlahekin Fire in Okanogan County near Loomis, the Ransier Fire in Yakima County near White Swan, and the Bradeen Hill Fire in Stevens County near Rice all triggered state resource deployment under the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan.

The Sinlahekin Fire, which began July 26 at 2:12 p.m., covers 9,000 acres and threatens homes and infrastructure. It has prompted Level 2 and 3 evacuations. State resources include six wildland strike teams. The Ransier Fire, started July 26 at 2:02 p.m., is 500 acres and threatens White Swan. It also has Level 2 and 3 evacuations in place. Two strike teams were deployed. The Bradeen Hill Fire, started July 25 at 1:51 p.m., is smaller but still required state assistance.

The State Emergency Operations Center at Camp Murray is activated to Level 2 partial activation to coordinate response efforts for all three fires. The Fire Protection Bureau is managing the deployment of resources under the mobilization plan, with personnel both en route and working remotely to coordinate firefighting efforts.
