The Jolly Mountain Fire 11 miles north of Cle Elum is now 40 percent contained according to authorities.
It remains at just under 37,000 acres which is where it was on Saturday with
just over 480 firemen along with five helicopters and 22 engines on the scene.
Forecasters say firemen should receive some help from a storm system that was expected to move in Sunday night and Monday bringing rain for the first time in more than 90 days.
