People Shooting At Firefighters At Miriam Fire Thursday

Firefighters working the Miriam Fire near Clear Lake and White Pass had to take a break on Thursday as authorities searched for two men who were seen shooting at or near firefighters. Yakima County Sheriff's deputies and other authorities from the area were called to the fire Thursday afternoon. No one was contacted and authorities aren't sure if the men were targeting the firefighters or shooting at something else.
