From Times Wire Reports
Residents of Leavenworth who evacuated as a wildfire neared their homes were allowed to return as cooler weather and calmer winds allowed firefighters to gain against fires on thousands of acres in the Northwest.
Evacuation orders were lifted for 50 residences, although 18 other families were not allowed back.
The Icicle Creek wildfire was one of eight that had burned more than 150,000 acres by Monday in Washington and one of 40 burning more than 450,300 acres in seven Western states, the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, said.
