'Please leave now:' Level 3 fire evacuations for parts of Bonney Lake

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Level 3 evacuations were put in effect for parts of Bonney Lake on Tuesday as wind pushed the Sumner Grade Fire closer to homes and neighborhoods, and state resources responded to fight it.

The fire sparked early Tuesday morning and was initially reported at around 50 acres, though it grew “significantly” larger than that, state officials said. An immediate estimate of the size was not readily available.

Wind pushed the fire south along a ridge that runs parallel to SR 410, between Sumner and Bonney Lake. The highway was closed throughout the day between the towns, with the Washington State Department of Transportation saying it expects to keep the route closed for at least 24 hours more, calling it a ‘very active’ fire.

Around 6:30 p.m., officials announced Level 3 evacuations for all areas south and west of SR 410 to Angeline Road and Rhodes Lake Road to McCutcheon.

1. Having lived through 2 Evacuations...

I feel for you. It is incredibly stressful. Make sure you get all your medicines, a change of clothes, toothpaste/toothbrush, if you have pets, your pets of course and pet food. Get your insurance papers. I regretted not taking my Firestick (and was stuck watching awful Motel TV for a week). There were a few other items I couldn't do without. Be safe! Sending prayers.
