Firefighters hope to reach containment Tuesday on a fire that has burned dozens of homes east of the Cascades.

A spokesman for the Taylor Bridge fire burning east of Cle Elum said crews expect the weather to cooperate with firefighting efforts on Monday, for the most part.

Mick Mueller said some gusty wind is in the forecast for Monday late afternoon and evening, but rain may also be on the way.

The Taylor Bridge Fire broke out a week ago at a bridge construction project. It has burned across more than 23,000 acres of grass, sagebrush and timber in rural areas about 75 miles east of Seattle.

More than 1,000 people are fighting the fire and Mueller said they hope to do some controlled burns on Monday.

Meanwhile, a wildfire near Wenatchee has grown to just over 1 square mile.

The Wenatchee World reports the Keane Ranch fire ( http://is.gd/uVzhn1) has not threatened or damaged any structures.

Fire spokeswoman Kay McKellar said the Keane Ranch Fire is burning in grass, brush and timber and is being wind driven.

Crews have dug lines along three sides of the fire, which is about 50 percent contained.

The blaze was reported just after 1 p.m. Sunday. The cause is believed to be lightning.
