The Kittitas County Sheriffs office released a new fire map today that shows some of the evacuation levels lifted for some residents near the Southeast corner of the fire.

Wilson Creek, Alford Road, Look Road, Rustic Acres, and areas east of there have reopened. Evacuation orders have reduced from Level 3 to Level 2 on Sunlight Drive, Clubhouse Drive, Cricklewood Lane, Ellensburg Ranches Road and Hayward Road.

Both U.S. 97 and S.R. 10 run directly through the fire and remain closed.

Fire incident commander Rex Reed says that the goal for Thursday is to get the fire 50% contained.
