The Pioneer Fire was a large wildfire in Chelan County, Washington, United States. It was first reported on June 8, 2024, on the north side of Lake Chelan and spread northwest throughout the wilderness in the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. By August, it had reached the outskirts of Stehekin, prompting an evacuation order that was downgraded later that month. The fire was fully contained by October 5.
