Chelan County Commissioner Tiffany Gering says she's fearful about residents refusing to leave.

The Level 3 Level 3 applies to the area from just north of Moore Point through the Stehekin Valley, including the Stehekin Landing and west to High Bridge.

Chelan County Commissioner Tiffany Gering told her fellow commissioners Monday morning that there have been numerous problems with communications.

The fire has spread north along the shoreline and evacuation notices have extended northward, with the Stehekin Valley area now under Level 1.

From the majestic peaks of Mt. Baker to the serene waters of Lake Chelan, the Pacific Northwest offers a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The Legacy program replaces the Regional Impact Grant to bring the grant-making process to a more local level.

A meeting was held in Stehekin Tuesday night, where residents were told they'd get the most up to date information on the fire delivered to them daily.

The fire is burning on steep wooded terrain, which is difficult and dangerous for fire response crews to access.

There are now 330 crew members working the fire with eight helicopters providing bucket drops from the lake.

Deputies boated up Lake Chelan to rescue hikers near the Pioneer Fire along the Lakeshore.
