The Range 12 Fire was started on July 31, 2016 in eastern Washington, at the Yakima Training Center northeast of Yakima, Washington.[1][2] It quickly grew to over 177,000 acres (72,000 ha) to cover parts of Benton county, Yakima county, and Grant county (forcing some residents of the city of Prosser to evacuate their homes) before the fire was contained in early August.[3] The fire was the third in recent years to affect the area surrounding the Hanford Reach National Monument and the Arid Lands Ecology Reserve, but was contained through the use of controlled burns.[4]
