CHELAN COUNTY, Wash. — Fire officials in Chelan County have issued updated evacuation orders for the Labor Mountain and Lower Sugarloaf Fires.
The Level 3 ‘go now’ order for the Labor Mountain Fire has been expanded across U.S. Highway 97.
It does not impact any homes or structures, but officials warn residents in the area to be ready to evacuate, Chelan County Emergency Management posted on Facebook.
Preps are being made for a possible Red Flag Warning on Thursday in case strong winds push the fire over the highway.
