The Colwash Fire poses an immediate threat to residents in Yakima and Benton counties, particularly those in areas under Level 3 evacuation orders. These include residents east of the Benton County line, south of State Route 22, south and west of State Route 221, and north of Sellards Road. In Yakima County, areas near Highway 22 from Glade Road to the county line, including Byron Hill Road, are also at risk. The fire has approached power lines and structures, increasing the potential for property damage and power outages. The rapid growth of the fire underscores the urgency for residents in affected areas to evacuate immediately.
