REGARDING THE GREEN ACRES FIRE:
We're OK. The fire is close (about 3 miles from Riverside) and in the Green Acres Rd area. So far, it has been moving south toward Omak, not North toward us.
Here are the details:
The fire is specifically along Greenacres Road and Robinson Canyon Road. It is NOT under control; as of yesterday night, it was reported to be at 0% containment. Crews are struggling to gain control due to intense flames and high winds.
With approximately 40 acres (primarily sagebrush and grass) effected, a Level 3 immediate evacuation order was issued for the area. The fire has destroyed at least five homes and forced evacuations, with roads in the area including Greenacres Road remaining closed.
High winds (25 to 30 miles per hour) increase the fire's rapid spread and intensity. State firefighting resources have been mobilized to assist with containment efforts.
