*** Wenatchee Horselake Road Fire 09/09 ***
Wenatchee, Washington -- 09/09/2008
Fire crews have gained the upper hand on a three alarm brush
fire that started a little before 5-30 p.m. today at the end of
Horse Lake Road.
The fire, which burned an estimated 40 to 60 acres in mostly
rugged terrain, put up a thick column of smoke over the north
end of Wenatchee and was fanned by gusty winds.
Quick work by fire crews from all around Central Washington,
from the ground and from the air, kept the fire from exploding.
About 30 homes in the area of Horselake Road and Dawn Terrace,
Quail Hollow Lane and both sides of North Road, were under a level
two evacuation notice for a time.
By eight p.m. or so, that had been lowered to a level one notice.
There were no reports of homes damaged and the cause is not
immediately known.
