A wildfire that started Friday on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, near White Salmon, has grown to more than 10,700 acres and destroyed 14 homes.
The Burdoin Fire is threatening another 250 homes, fire officials said Monday morning.
Level 3 (Go Now!) evacuations are in place for hundreds of people in the community of Lyle and surrounding areas.

Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire.
