A weekend wildfire along the Columbia River in southwestern Washington continued growing on Monday to 546 acres, prompting evacuations and burning structures, according to authorities.
Skamania County firefighters responded to reports of the wildfire on Sunday at 11:19 a.m. near Highway 14 in Underwood, an unincorporated community across the river from Hood River, Oregon, and about 2 miles west of White Salmon, Washington.
“Several structures have been lost,” the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office wrote in an update posted to Facebook late Sunday night. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has authorized the use of federal money as requested by Washington state to help with firefighting costs, after FEMA officials determined the fire threatens to cause destruction that could constitute a major disaster. This is the first such FEMA declaration this year in Washington.
