Taylor Bridge fire now fully contained

CLE ELUM, Wash. – Firefighting officials say a stubborn wildfire that destroyed dozens of homes in Central Washington has been contained after a two-week fight.

Spokesmen for the Taylor Bridge fire announced full containment Tuesday evening. The blaze that started Aug. 13 east of Cle Elum has burned more than 36 square miles, or 23,500 acres, about 75 miles east of Seattle.

Authorities have confirmed 61 homes and 35 outbuildings were destroyed and about seven other properties were damaged.

The exact cause remains under investigation.
