The 2014 Washington wildfires were a series of 1,480 wildfires that burned 386,972 acres (1,566 km2) over the course of 2014.[1] The first occurred primarily on the east side of the Cascade Range in Chelan and Okanogan counties.[citation needed] The fires burned private land, state land, and within the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forests, ultimately covering over 350,000 acres (550 sq mi; 1,400 km2). The first fire began on July 8 near the Entiat River. On July 14 a lightning storm started dozens more fires across the eastern Cascade Range.[2] Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency, activating the Washington National Guard.[3] More lightning strikes later in the summer started additional fires.
