About 70 acres of forest are burning in the steep terrain of Ruby Mountain near the Lake Ross National Recreation Area in Whatcom County.
The National Parks Services expects the fire to grow over the weekend due to the dry and hot weather. The fire was likely started by lighting and detected on June 28.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports that no firefighters are on scene due to the steep and dangerous terrain.
