'Shelter in Place' warning issued near Wenatchee fires, some residents told to go indoors



WENATCHEE - A shelter in place warning was issued Monday morning near the Bluebird Fire in Wenatchee because of an ammonia leak.

Chelan County Emergency Management alerted the public of the leak around 11:10 a.m. Residents were told to close their windows and turn of air conditioning.





Officials said concerns about ammonia have been present since last night, since an industrial fire started burning.

By 12:30 p.m., the ammonia dissipated and was no longer an issue. The shelter in place restriction was lifted.
