the DNR or dept of natural resources is our state fire department. it's web
site lists closures due to current fires. see:

http://www.dnr.wa.gov/fire/

unfortunately, the listing of fires is nowhere near as complete as a read of
the post-season annual fire summary [see for ex the 2005 summary].

to report a forest fire, call: 800-562-6010.

one wishes that the government DNR would post on its web site real-time
location of current fires as the private WTA does for trail closures and
washouts. this would be invaluable to birders and hikers.
