Evacuations are in place for a fire burning outside of Wenatchee, two days after an 'end-of-wildfire-season' press conference was held.
Several evacuations are in place for a wildfire burning outside of Wenatchee. The fire is estimated to be 25 acres in size and is reportedly moving slowly.
“Current conditions present a specific and immediate threat to the life and safety of persons within this area,” a Chelan County Emergency Managementread. “While fire activity has settled down with the decreasing temperatures, the proximity of the fire to the Wenatchee Heights area means we will be keeping those evacuation levels as is.”
“No structures have been lost by this fire,” Chelan County Emergency Management wrote in an update. “The fire team will remain on scene overnight. The fire is 30% contained. We hope to have the size of the fire in the morning.”The evacuations were announced two days after Washington Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz held an “end-of-wildfire-season” press conference.
