Evacuation notices have been lowered for people living near the Cheney Complex Fire. Level 3 evacuations for those in between SR 904 and the railroad were lowered Level 2 late Wednesday night. And those along Highway 904 up to Cameron Road -- who were under a Level 2 evacuation notice -- were lowered to a Level 1 advisory. The Cheney Complex Fire is made up of four fires burning in the Cheney area, including the 104-acre Graham Fire, the 10-acre Grogan Fire, the 21-acre Lake Badger Fire and the 16-acre Badger fire. About 100 fire personnel from several agencies worked throughout the late afternoon and overnight to protect homes and get the fire under control. In a release, Washington State Patrol Trooper Jeff Sevigney said, "Their speedy and gallant efforts worked to avoid any damage to approximately 30 structures that were threatened by the encroaching fire."
