Around 6:15 a.m., officials lifted Level 3 "Go Now" evacuations after stopping the Long Lake wildfire's forward progress in Spokane County.
The fire had broken out earlier Thursday east of Long Lake, triggering the highest evacuation level for residents along Long Lake Road.
Spokane Regional Emergency Communications said the orders were tied to the new wildfire, and the latest evacuation map had been posted as conditions changed.
