Firefighters did some tough work on Wednesday with indirect line construction on Bethel Ridge in the southern portion of the fire in thick dead and downed timber.
The new site will open August 30 at Yakima Valley College. YVC President Linda Kaminski says “We are pleased to do whatever we can to keep our community safe."
Even though firefighters have watched the fire grow fire officials say they've had a lot of successes in saving homes and properties of people who live in the fire area.
