Town Evacuated Ahead Of Wildfire
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The small town of Pateros, Washington state is being emptied out ahead of a wind-whipped wildfire that has burned at least 35 homes in Okanogan County.
Also getting the evacuation notice is a hospital in nearby Brewster.
Sheriff Frank Rogers says "there's nobody in Pateros" except a few "stragglers," and he says the fire is burning in the town.
