Modrite Fire Rages Toward Rodgers Bar | Seattle News

The Modrite Fire is exploding out of control, torching over 6,400 acres and destroying five homes since it was sparked by lightning on July 17. A Level 3 evacuation is in effect for Wilmont Creek Road from Kewa Road to Rodgers Bar—get out NOW. Silver Creek Road is shut between Four Corners and Kewa Road, and Wilmont Road is blocked at Twin Lakes. Kettle Falls Middle School is the evacuation hub—pets welcome in carriers. The blaze has already crossed Silver Creek Road and is advancing toward Lake Roosevelt and Rodgers Bar Campground. Fire crews are locking down Coyote Creek Road as the main line and building a new one between Coyote Creek and Wilmont Road. They’re also assessing Rodgers Bar Campground and preparing to defend any structures in harm’s way. The situation is still fast-moving—containment and community protection are the top priorities.
