Taylor Bridge Wildfire
 

What has come to be known as the Taylor Bridge Wildfire has exploded from 1,000 to 27,000 acres overnight about 4 miles west of Ellensburg, Washington with 0% containment. The fire has destroyed more than 60 homes and 100 barns thus far. Conditions for battling the blaze are bad; moderate winds with gusts to 30 mph, high temperatures, low humidity, and ample fuel (the Valley is known for hay manufacturing). My home and family are safe, thank you for the kind words and prayers from friends on the board. No news to report outside what can be found from local sources, such as;

Prayers go out to those affected. This is awful news. Hopefully it will be contained soon and there is no loss of life.
