The Tule Fire, burning south of Toppenish in Yakima County, has grown to 5,000 acres as of June 15, 2026. Firefighters continue to battle the blaze, which has prompted evacuations and road closures in the area.
The fire, which started earlier this week, has been fueled by dry conditions and strong winds, making containment efforts challenging. Crews from multiple agencies are on the scene, using air tankers and ground resources to slow the spread.
No structures have been reported lost so far, but officials urge residents to remain vigilant and follow evacuation orders. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
