Benton County Wildfire Damages Prosser Railroad Bridge
Wildfires ran rampant yesterday and another casualty was a railroad bridge near Old Inland Empire Hwy between Rothrock Road to District Line Road.
Benton County Sheriff's Department spent Monday afternoon helping direct traffic while Benton County Firefighters worked to put out the blaze.
The railroad bridge was another string of wildfires wreaking havoc through Benton County.
Labor Day weekend saw widespread wildfires through the region - from Yakima County to Umatilla County and all the way up in Okanogan, we were seeing smoke and dust in the air from the fires.
You can see more details about the bridge here.
