Cooler weather overnight helped firefighters in Washington state shrink a wildfire burning in a forested area about 20 miles (32 km) east of Vancouver, Washington, officials said on Monday.
The Nakia Creek Fire in Clark County exploded on Sunday to about 2,000 acres, but by Monday morning was down to 1,565 acres and 20% contained, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources said on the Inciweb fire tracking site.
Smoke is heavy in nearby communities, but officials said it was coming from about ten fires burning from the Canadian border to the Columbia River, including five new blazes that broke out on Sunday.
