Fire burns homes near Omak, Wash.

OMAK, Wash. – A wildfire that burned two homes near Omak grew to 5,000 acres on Wednesday and threatened an Indian boarding school on the Colville Reservation in north-central Washington, authorities said.

The blaze also burned an outbuilding near the historic St. Mary’s Mission as it neared the Paschal Sherman Indian School, said Kathy Moses, public information officer for the Mount Tolman Fire Center. Both the school and the mission were protected by bulldozer lines, officials said.

The school has about 300 students. About 30 boarding students were evacuated to a motel in Omak, and classes were canceled Wednesday.

The fire broke out Tuesday along a highway and spread through grass and sagebrush by winds up to 35 mph, Moses said. The cause was under investigation. No injuries were reported.
