A small fire was extinguished in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands on Monday morning, July 28.

The fire, near a trail between Heart Lake and Lake Erie, was started by an unattended campfire, according to Anacortes Fire Division Chief John Bird. It spread to about six feet before being put out.

Bird reminded residents that fires are not allowed in the ACFL and there is a burn ban in effect in Skagit County.

There are generally several small fires each year in the Forest Lands.
