Firefighters can't keep ahead of fast-moving Taylor Bridge blaze

The raging Taylor Bridge wildfire near Cle Elum has burned 28,000 acres and continues to spread, according to a spokeswoman at the fire scene. This view looks east toward Ellensburg from the Thorp Prairie Road just north of Interstate 90. Firefighters have been brought in to battle the fire mostly by air Tuesday. About 250 firefighters were on the ground.
