CHELAN COUNTY, Wash. — Level 3 “Go Now” evacuation orders have been expanded for the Labor Mountain Fire due to fire growth fueled by high winds, according to Chelan County Emergency Management.

The updated evacuation zones are:

Level 3 (Go Now): Milepost 163.5 to 174 on U.S. 97, both sides of the highway.

Level 2 (Be Prepared): Milepost 174 to 177.5.
