Wildfires - USA

Two state highways are closed and more than 200 homes are under evacuation orders Saturday as at least three wildfires continue to spread ominously across Central Washington.

Nearly 1,200 fighters are battling the largest of the wildfires, which has grown to about 14 square miles near Goldendale. The fire along the top of Satus Pass is threatening about 180 homes, but none have been damaged.

Another fire in Chelan County that started Saturday has destroyed two buildings and forced the evacuation of about 60 homes and cabins along the Columbia River near Quincy.
