GRANT COUNTY, Wash. — Evacuation orders were canceled on Monday evening for a campground in Grant County after a nearby wildfire was contained.
Level 3 “Go Now” evacuation orders were first issued late Monday morning for the Sun Lake campground in Grant County due to a fast-moving wildfire. There was also a road closure on SR 17 and SR 2 due to the fire.
The Grant County Sheriff’s Office reported the evacuation orders and road closure around 11:30 a.m. Monday.
“Level 3 means go. Leave now. You are in immediate danger. Even if you don’t see the danger, follow your plans and leave. Delay could cost lives. If you stay, you may not be rescued,” authorities stated.
Around 4 p.m. Monday, the sheriff’s office said the evacuation orders and road closure remain in place. “Please avoid the area and find alternate routes if you planned to travel through the area,” authorities stated.
Officials said an evacuation area was set up at Soap Lake High School at 410 Ginkgo St. for RVs and campers. Authorities asked boats and watercraft to avoid the south end of Banks Lake for firefighting aircraft working on a wildfire in the area.
By 8:25 p.m., the sheriff’s office confirmed that the fire had been contained and there were no longer evacuations in the area.
