Fire crews are working feverishly to contain a fast-moving and destructive wildfire that sparked in Western Grant County late Wednesday. The blaze rapidly grew to between 600-700 acres overnight, fanned by gusty winds in dry grass and sagebrush. Overnight, the fire also forced a 15-mile stretch of State Route 243 to close from the Mattawa Roundabout to the highway's junction with State Route 26, but it has since re-opened. Crews with Grant County Fire District No. One person evacuating the area reportedly suffered from smoke inhalation but no other injuries have been reported.
