Holden Village, Washington  

As of this morning, the Wolverine Fire has grown to 25,640 acres and several Hot Shot crews are stationed in Holden Village. While the fire did move another half-mile toward the Village today, it continues to move at a slower pace than originally anticipated, giving firefighters time to focus on setting up a containment line around the perimeter of the Village and protecting structures. At Holden’s down lake properties, a team of Village evacuees spent another day clearing brush and setting up sprinklers in preparation for a possible evacuation of the 25-Mile Creek area. Tonight, staff and community members will gather at Chelan Lutheran Church for Holden Evening Prayer.

With good courage, Peg + Chuck
