YAKIMA, Wash. – Fire crews put out a wildfire at Harlan Landing north of Yakima on Wed., May 8, according to the Selah Fire Department.
SFD Chief Jim Lange says the fire grew to 100 acres in size and was difficult for crews to access due to it being on a hillside. Air support was called to help control the fire.
As a result, nearly 14,000 Yakima and Selah residents experienced a power outage, according to Pacific Power. Power has since been completely restored.
A firefighter is being treated for heat-related injuries. No homes were threatened and no evacuations were put in place, according to Lange.
The cause is currently unknown.
