Washington State County Fairground Helps in Sheltering Evacuated Animals From Wildfires

The Big Hollow Fire in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest seems to have stalled as winds start to blow eastward away from westward communities. “It hasn’t moved eastward out of where it’s already burned. We’re lucky it hasn’t expanded, but that may change,” said Dana Levitt, a Public Information Officer.

The fire, however, has continued to rage in other Washington and Oregon areas affecting air quality for people and animals. Cowlitz County Fairgrounds opened last Friday to shelter the affected animals from Washington and Oregon state. The fairgrounds has 26 horse stalls in its indoor area with many other small animal pens. Livestock like cow, sheep, goat, and pig are welcome and can be accommodated there.
