episode_narrativeA brush fire in Benton county west of Kennewick damaged a home and threatened others. Winds made fighting the fire difficult at times.
event_narrativeFour homes were evacuated Tuesday morning (10/17) due to a brush fire in the area of Dallas and Goose Gap Roads. Crews were called in to the area around 9:30 AM PST for a fire behind several homes off Goose Gap Road. Benton County Fire District #1 PIO Tracey Baker says teams attacked the fire from both Goose Gap Road and from above off on Jacobs Road. She says because of the difficult terrain, swirling winds and dry conditions, the fire spread quickly and crews had a harder time getting access. At this point, she says they believe the blaze spread between 25 and 40 acres. The flames did cause damage (amount not known) to one home and threatened others. Crews also say deputies were called to help with traffic issues on I-82 due to blowing smoke for a short time. The cause of the fire is believed to be a residential burn that started yesterday and rekindled Tuesday.
