NEAR PORT ORCHARD, Wash. — Firefighters on the Kitsap Peninsula are battling a stubborn forest fire that is burning underground.
“The burning conditions are a little bit different then Eastern Washington,” said Lt. Mike Mock with North Kitsap Fire.
In Eastern Washington, you can see the fires from miles away. Here you have to be escorted in. “Usually a lot slower and just creeps around in this stuff,” Mock said. The fire is spreading underground, passing through the old growth buried logs, burning up through the roots and inside the trees.
