**Start Date/Time/Location** The Vansycle Canyon Fire broke out just before 0015 PT (12:15 AM) on Thursday, June 13, 2025, located on Hatch Grade in Walla Walla County, Washington[2]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, the fire has burned approximately 1,900 acres. However, there are conflicting reports on containment: some sources indicate 0% containment[2][3], while others suggest it has been updated to 25% containment[4]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire started as a fast-moving grass fire and quickly spread due to wind conditions. It prompted a 4th Alarm fire response and has exhibited wind-driven runs and moderate fire behavior[2][5]. **Containment Efforts** Local mutual aid resources, Washington Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR), and State Mobilization resources through the WA Fire Marshals Office were dispatched to assist. The Incident Commander is with Walla Walla County Fire District #4[2].
