A fast-moving wildfire, now labeled the “Weaver Fire,” has erupted in southern Stevens County, forcing authorities to issue rapidly escalating evacuation notices for dozens of rural homes late Monday. The blaze was first spotted near Suncrest before strong winds drove flames into surrounding timber and grassland.
Officials have moved residents from advisory to “Level 2 – Get Ready” evacuation status. Under this designation all individuals in the affected zone must prepare to flee with immediate notice as conditions remain highly volatile and firefighters struggle with rugged terrain.
