Okanogan County Emergency Management (OCEM) issued a “Level 1” advisory for residents living on North Star Road, from Eagle Road south to Morning Star Way, after a brush fire ignited just to the east of this area. Crews at the scene reported that the fire is currently moving south.

“Persons should be aware of their surroundings and take action if needed,” OCEM officials stated. “Be cautious of emergency vehicles responding. Do not wait for door-to-door notifications, take action if needed.” Authorities have yet to determine a cause of the fire at this time.

VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Four Washington-based crew members survived after two Navy jets collided midair during an air show in Idaho on Sunday, forcing the event to end early. The crash involved two EA-18G Growler aircraft from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor. Dramatic video from the Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunfighter Skies Air Show, about 50 miles south of Boise, showed the two aircraft tangled and sparking before erupting into flames. An announcement at the scene said, “There have been four good parachutes that were seen and we ask that everyone remain where you are.”

The entangled jets are seen crashing to the ground and exploding as the parachuting crew members float down from the sky. A Naval Air Forces spokesperson said all four crewmembers from the Electronic Attack Squadron ejected properly and were receiving medical care. One crewmember received non-life-threatening injuries, while the other three were ultimately unhurt and medically cleared after examination. The air show was canceled for the remainder of the day following the crash.
