Wildfires Close several Eastern Oregon Roads!!!

Looks like the fire closest to Chelan started on Chelan Butte. That's a grassy hill south of town, with slopes extending down to the Columbia River. I've driven up that, and around the south side, and can easily a wind driven fire racing through that grass - even in a normally dry summer.
