A new wildfire broke out yesterday right on the Lewis and Pacific County lines.

Current details on the blaze, known as the “Sage Creek Fire,” south of Pe Ell and north of Cathlamet, are limited. The fire was first reported by Watch Duty yesterday morning at an estimated 1 to 2 acres; however, by the early afternoon, it was listed at about 43 acres.

Fire crews, the DNR, and Weyerhaeuser are all on scene. Aircraft have also been used as part of the fire suppression efforts.

The cause of the fire is not known at this time.
