On July 4, Wenatchee Valley firefighters fought three brushfires sparked by fireworks near Rick Island, Malaga, and an old orchard on Penn Avenue that threatened homes—while a separate East Wenatchee structure fire on Thursday damaged a home, fence, and vehicles and resulted in the loss of three pet parakeets, with crews using favorable winds to limit each blaze to about two acres and no injuries reported.
