People living near Neah Bay are being evacuated after three fires reportedly broke out from slash burns that restarted early Thursday morning, according to the Makah Tribe chairman. Chairman TJ Greene told KING 5 one of the fires is near Hobuck Lake and that the two others are on Cape Flattery. Greene said the fire broke out at around 6 a.m. possibly due to high winds. The fire is estimated at six acres at this time. Greene said the major area of concern is Hobuck Beach and the lake, where approximately 20 to 25 people live. People near the Makah Passage are being recommended to leave as well because of the risk of the fire isolating them. The resort was evacuated Thursday morning, according to Greene. Another fire burning on Cape Flattery Road is threatening 30 homes. Those residents aren't under evacuation orders but are told to be ready. The fires burning near homes are approximately 50%-60% contained, Greene said.  The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) crews are working on the fires and local contractors have donated equipment, according to Greene. DNR firefighters established a fire line that made the community safer, Greene said. Winds died down by midday Thursday, but not enough for DNR helicopters to drop water near the fires. Crews are hoping winds will die down enough by Friday for the DNR helicopters to help.  The United States Coast Guard is also assisting with aerial assessments of the fires.
