A wildfire roaring across Mount Jupiter near Hood Canal has tripled in size overnight. As of Friday afternoon, the fire dubbed the ‘Road 2620 Fire’ has consumed nearly 450 acres and is eating its way into Olympic National Forest.The fast-moving flames have prompted the closure of campsites and hiking trails in the Duckabush Valley area.
Manly predicts the blaze will reach that bulldozed line within the next 72–96 hours. The fire's rapid spread began Wednesday night, when only four acres were burning. By Thursday afternoon, that number had jumped to 150 acres, and by nightfall, it had reached 350 acres.Adding to the difficulties is the marine layer off Hood Canal, which has complicated aerial firefighting efforts.
