STEVENS COUNTY, Wash. Fire crews are responding to a large brush fire in Stevens County Saturday night.
Evacuations were issued for the area near Pine Hill and and SR 291 earlier in the day. The fire threatened around 30 homes in the area. The DRN said one outhouse was burned down and the flames got close enough to melt housing tile.
The Corkscrew fire is burning around 30-40 acres as of 6:45 Saturday night. Due to the rocky terrain of the area bulldozers have not been able to assist with the fire line.
Approximately 140 crew members are currently working on getting the fire under control. Those crews are receiving assistance from several aerial crews who are doing water dumps on the flames.
