Description
A large brush fire threatened many homes overnight four miles northeast of Shelton, according to the Mason County Sheriff's Office.
All homes on McEwan Prairie Road and Rainbow Lake Drive and in the John's Creek area were evacuated Tuesday due to the McEwan Fire. Over 200 homes were notified to evacuate.
Officials downgraded all Level 3 evacuation areas to Level 2 by midday Wednesday. All Level 1 areas remain at Level 1.
The brush fire is an estimated 250-plus acres.
Christina Witt was one of 200 homeowners told to leave her home Tuesday afternoon.
"It's devastating, I got to sit in the Wal-Mart parking lot a couple of miles away and watch the black smoke billow, and cry because everything I've worked so hard for was in danger," said Witt.
