A fire was reported at about 6 a.m. Tuesday morning on Zarembo Island. The fire, according to a Facebook post by the U.S. Forest Service, is a tenth of an acre in size, and has consumed several structures at the Evergreen Timber logging camp. No injuries have been reported, and logging company employees are fighting the fire.
According to Christy Gardner with the Forest Service, the fire was put out by logging company employees, though the Forest Service did come to the site to offer assistance. The fire was contained quickly and did not spread beyond the camp.
“Housing units only were lost,” she said. “They [the logging company] were able to move some of their outer items away.”
Gardner added that the cause of the fire had not been discovered yet.
