TENINO, Wash. — Firefighters controlled a brush fire Sunday afternoon in Tenino.
The High Valley Lane brush fire raced through a couple of acres of land.
According to investigators, the fire started when a legal burn got out of control and east winds helped fuel the fire.
Investigators told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News that three homes were in danger, but are no longer in danger.
Responding ground and air crews were able to control the fire.
“Yeah, there are nice ones up on the hill, and there’s a lot that could get involved if they don’t get it contained,’ said Tenino resident Peggy Haase.
Crews remained at the scene to douse hot spots.
