The Taylor Bridge Fire in Washington erupted as a result of a bridge construction project and burned for almost a week, destroying 70 residential properties and 210 other structures near the town of Cle Elum on the Cascade Range, about 75 miles east of Seattle. Nearly 1,000 firefighters, eight helicopters and other personnel were on the scene.
From the start of the fire, The Salvation Army was on the frontlines serving as needed. The Salvation Army in Central Washington worked with its local volunteer group and food bank to supply meals as needed for shelters and the Emergency Operations Center. The Army will be integral in the long-term recovery plan and the development of the Disaster Assistance Center.
