PHOTOS: Three homes burned down after a wind-driven fire tore through an Eastern Washington neighborhood on Sunday. According to the Orondo Fire Department (OFD), a fire was reported at 5 p.m. in the Sun Cove community in Orondo. Orondo is an unincorporated Douglas County community that sits along the Columbia River about 17 miles north of Wenatchee. Residents reported smelling smoke and finding a fire burning underneath their motorhome. 30 mph winds quickly pushed the fire toward a shed, fence and nearby trailer home. Firefighters responded in a matter of minutes, but when they arrived, the fire had completely engulfed three homes and had spread to a fourth.
