Sherman County Fire Brought Under Control

Emergency responders and farmers brought a fire that originated at the Nish gravel pit east of Wasco in Sherman County on Thursday evening under control before it could cross Highway 206.   The Sherman County Sheriff’s Office says high winds caused the fire to spread rapidly from Highway 206 milepost 4 at Nish to milepost 7 at Hay Canyon.  The Sheriff’s Office indicates the fire appears to have been caused by a spark from individuals shooting at the gravel pit.  Those people tried to put out the fire and called 9-1-1 for help.  The Sheriff’s Office added the individuals met with law enforcement and have cooperated fully.  Once the investigation is complete, it will go to the Sherman County District Attorney for review.
