‘Firestorm’ Scorches 3,000 Acres, Burns 24 Homes

NS — Diane Reed stood amid the still-smoldering ash and rubble of what used to be the family home Monday in the affluent Broadview subdivision northwest of town.

“It reminds me of a war zone,” said Reed, a substitute teacher and mother of two girls.

A pickup on the property looked like a missile had landed on it.

“Was this where the closet was?” asked her daughter Erin Reed, 13. She walked around with girlfriends from the neighborhood. They hugged.

“This is where I grew up,” she said to them, and to herself.

The Reeds’ home was destroyed in what one official called a wind-driven “firestorm” that by Monday evening had scorched 3,000 acres on the outskirts of Wenatchee and roared through two nearby subdivisions, burning 24 homes, a scattering of outbuildings and four local businesses. There were no serious injuries.

Reed, 49, said she was home Sunday evening with the family dog, Mocha, a chocolate Lab, when she saw smoke in the distance around 5 p.m.

An hour later, police were at the door announcing a Level 2 emergency evacuation notice: Be ready to go on a moment’s notice.

Reed recalled it was not the first time she’d lived through a Level 2 notice. There was even a Level 3 once — meaning “get out now!” — but she had stayed. http://www.emergencymgmt.com/disaster/Washington-firestorm-scorches-3000-acres-burns-24-homes.html
