Authorities say people shooting targets are to blame for a wildfire that was burning near homes in the Badger Canyon area Friday afternoon. Pasco Fire Deputy Chief Ed Dunbar said nearly every fire agency in the Tri-Cities region was called to the scene off South Badger Canyon Road just west of Kennewick around 5:30 p.m. Benton County Fire District 1 is the lead agency. Dunbar said the fire has burned at least 40 acres and due to strong winds, it’s expected to grow significantly larger. There have been reports of an outbuilding and a fifth wheel destroyed in the fire, but no reports of homes being lost. It’s unclear if any homes are in immediate danger, but some residents have been told to evacuate.
