According to the Orondo Fire Department , a fire was reported at 5 p.m. in the Sun Cove community in Orondo. Orondo is an unincorporated Douglas County community that sits along the Columbia River about 17 miles north of Wenatchee.Residents reported smelling smoke and finding a fire burning underneath their motorhome. 30 mph winds quickly pushed the fire toward a shed, fence and nearby trailer home.
No injuries were reported, but crews fear that two cats who lived in one of the homes may have been lost in the fire. According to the OFD, this blaze sparked while firefighters were already extinguishing two other nearby fires: one, a three-alarm fire near Wenatchee, and the other, a motorhome fire in Chelan. The region was under a fire weather watch during this time.
