She told us we were on a level 2 alert to be ready to evacuate.? That was news to us.? We smelled no smoke but it was very windy.? Looking it up, the Burbank fire had shut down the highway from Yakima north to Ellensburg and was moving fast to the east.? We got a few things ready to go, but looking at the wind direction I felt comfortable to go to bed.? At about 3AM the smoke was thick, but still no fire to see.? The fire never crested the Yakima ridge behind us and did go just to the east where there is mostly open land and the Army base, the Firing Center.? Maybe later I will drive to the top of the ridge and see if I can see anything.
