100-plus acre fire near Ford threatening buildings

The fire near Ford, Washington is between 300 and 400 acres in size, according to a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) official. It’s burned two residential buildings and six outbuildings, said DNR spokesman Eric Keller. “Everything that we’ve got is going that way right now,” Keller said. “We have dozers on it, air tankers dropping on it and everything. But it’s getting bigger.” There is a level three evacuation in place. The American Red Cross Greater Inland Northwest Chapter will open an emergency shelter at Mary Walker High School in Springdale.
