A brush fire that crested Selah Ridge and spread north and south as it moved up the hillside began early Sunday afternoon at a homeless camp north of Harlan Landing before growing to more than 400 acres, authorities said.
Though no homes had been evacuated Sunday evening, firefighters were concerned about the threat to homes near Lookout Point. Residents of 75 to 100 homes on South Fourth, Fifth and Seventh streets and Lookout Point Drive were advised that fire was in their area, but an evacuation notice had been lifted, said Rob Messer, acting captain of Selah station 26.
