Olympic National Park is closing another section of the Queets River Trail due to the spreading Paradise Fire.
The fire, which is now nearly 2,400 acres, has reached Bob Creek, a landmark firefighters decided in June would trigger additional closures and heighten the firefighting response.
The expanded closure includes all areas east of Spruce Bottom on the Queets trail.
Firefighters are likely to increase helicopter water drops and the use of 3,000-gallon water tanks, which will be flown into remote areas of the fire area.
