Hot and dry weather combined with easterly winds led to increased activity on the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake.  Fire officials say that several interior areas showed visible smoke on Wednesday for the first time in over a week. Crews are monitoring those locations and extinguishing them as needed, but most are in the far interior of the fire and not threatening any control lines.  Overnight active burning was inside the Mt. Adams Wilderness in the burn scar of a previous fire.  The fire is expected to burn actively again today with hot, dry weather and winds from the east.  Size of the Williams Mine Fire was dropped to 12,528 acres due to improved mapping.  Containment remains at 31%.
