Extra units headed to Burbank wildfire
A wildland strike team headed out to a growing fire in the forested area of Hood Park.
Firefighters responded to the blaze shortly before 4 p.m. in the park on Ice Harbor Road near Lake Wallula.
The fire was growing steadily.
Franklin County Fire District 3 and Pasco firefighters joined Walla Walla County Fire District 3 to help battle the blaze.
It’s unclear how much of the park has been affected.
The area has already seen one fire this year. In late May, a blaze got out of control in the McNary National Wildlife Refuge.
