Crews battle blazes in Methow Valley

Associated Press

TWISP, Wash. – A lightning storm left firefighters hopping in the Methow Valley area of north-central Washington.

At least five small fires were reported after the lightning storm swept through Monday. Each was less than an acre in size, and crews already contained some of them.

Fire crews were still en route to a fire in the Leecher Canyon area.

Firefighters reported some rain and hail in the area as well, which could help to dampen any fire starts.
