Firefighters Brandon Burns (L) and David Woods look over a map while the hillside behind them smolders at a 2,000-acre forest fire near Tampico, Washington, July 14, 2003. The fire, which grew over the weekend, forced the evacuation of 20 homes and threatens some 150 structures and there is no estimation as to when the fire will be contained. About 400 firefighters battle the blaze on the ground while some 45 fire engines are stationed around the homes. Firefighting helicopters from across Washington State have begun to battle the blaze.
