The Level 3 (go now) evacuation was expanded around 10:30 a.m. to include all homes west of Longmire Lane and north of Naches Wenas Road in Selah, said Horace Ward, operations manager for the Yakima Valley Office of Emergency Management.
The update moves 57 homes that had been under Level 2 (be ready) evacuations into Level 3. There are now a total of 194 households in Level 3 in the area, said Ward.
No primary residences are reported to have been lost to the fire so far, said Ben Shearer, the public information officer for the fire. Some outbuildings had been impacted, although he did not have details.
