A Sunday evening brushfire on the Douglas County side of the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail burned six acres, and forced Highway 28 traffic to divert into East Wenatchee. Wenatchee Valley Fire Chief Brian Brett says the fire, reported at 7:36 p.m., started on the riverside slope below the trail, and appears to have been human-caused.

“We’re working with law enforcement on the investigation of that fire,” Brett told NCWLIFE on Monday. No one was injured, and no structures damaged. The Washington State Patrol closed Highway 28 on either side of the fire area, and drivers had to use Rock Island Road to travel around the closure until late Sunday. Brett said it’s a sign that the 2026 fire season has already taken hold.
