As firefighters fight to contain the rapidly growing and out of control Taylor Bridge Fire, Washington's Kittitas and Yakima Counties have declared a state of emergency.

King 5 News quoted Governor Chris Gregoire as saying, "I have requested that the Emergency Management Department and the Washington State Patrol continue to make this firefighting effort a priority and provide the resources that the Department of Natural Resources needs to carry out its job." 

The wildland fire grew from 2,800 acres to more than 20,000 acres in a matter of hours.  The fire has burned roughly 31 square miles, which equates to about the size of the City of Bellevue, reported King 5 News.

There is a reason why the Governor of Washington emphasized "resources needed" during his report on the fires.  For more information on why that is a problem and what Obama has not done to quell the crisis, read my article posted 6/16/12 "Wildfires Burn Hundreds of Thousands of Acres in the US and Throughout the World."
