Information Released by Chelan Fire & Rescue

At 4:13 yesterday afternoon (Monday, 3/30/20), crews from Chelan Fire & Rescue were dispatched to a reported illegal burn in the 400 block of Tennant Lane off Washington Creek.

Arriving crews found an unattended 10’ X 50’burn pile that had reignited due to windy conditions that was slowly spreading.  Crews were able to quickly control and extinguish the fire in an hour.
