ROOSEVELT, Wash. (AP) — Klickitat County authorities have evacuated the entire town of Roosevelt, Washington, because of a fast moving grass fire. Several structures, including barns, have been burned by the fire that started around 1 p.m. Jeff King, the county director of emergency management, said fire crews are focused on structure protection but no homes had been lost by early evening. The Klickitat County sheriff's office issued a mandatory evacuation order for the entire town, which is about 140 miles east of Vancouver, Washington, after the fire jumped over State Route 14. King says the evacuation order was necessary because the fire is all over town. An evacuation shelter has been set up in a local school.
