A 16-year-old has been arrested in connection to a wildfire burning in Wenatchee that prompted evacuations Friday.
The teen could face multiple charges, according to the Chelan County Sheriff's Office.
The fire, dubbed the Balsam Root fire by authorities, is burning north and west of West Wenatchee. The National Weather Service posted a gif of the fire burning on a hill with structures pictured nearby. Structures and homes are threatened by the fire.
State fire assistance has been mobilized to help contain the fire by the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan.

People have no clue how fast a tiny flame can become a huge wildfire. It only takes a minute.

I am in the Thompson fire, like the woman being interviewed, you don't have much time. If the wind hadn't of changed, we would not have a house. Arson is suspected from a homeless camp. Our community got lucky this time, 6 homes burned. Thank you firefighters, we love you.

More likely a kid in the neighborhood playing with fireworks.

"Human caused" is called arson - not a wildfire.

@hottractor1999 11 күн бұрын

Actually it's not called arson automatically. Arson has a definition.

Arson is the name of the crime. Wildfire is the type of fire.

Negligence/stupidity is not arson, however willful intent is. Just like involuntary manslaughter and first degree murder. Sadly, the end result is the same: people dead, mourning factor the same.

Parents should have to pay. These fires are expensive. Deterrent is not enough.

Now where are all the people saying "it was not arson, just a wildfire." And do not try and confuse the wording, it is what it is. ARSON, a fire set deliberately PERIOD!

Why do people build their houses on property that has burned most summers, as long as humans have lived in Washington.

@laskey2175 11 күн бұрын

I feel like the fire ten years ago allowed this one to be contained. Fires prevent fires.

@Godislove4517 11 күн бұрын

Agreed. We now have more equipment, better technology, and probably more man power. We are also more aware of the danger.

@Simsane You are correct. Eastern WA is the sane portion of WA state. The side with morals and values. The child was probably visiting from Western WA which caters to those practicing alternative lifestyles.

What are the morals and values that you prefer on the east side of the state? Gay people love Wenatchee, too. You can't have it for yourself. Maga morals and values? Move to Texas if that's what you want, and take your hate with you! Thanks and God bless.
