A small brush fire broke out at The Gorge Amphitheatre on Saturday night during the ODESZA concert. The fire, sparked by pyrotechnics used in the show, ignited near the stage, causing an unexpected interruption.
Firefighters quickly arrived at the scene and extinguished the flames, ensuring everyone’s safety. According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, no injuries were reported.
The fire broke out during the last song of the concert, denying fans an encore. The state Department of Natural Resources had previously indicated that the area was at “very high” fire risk.
The blaze started in an unoccupied area adjacent to the concert venue and was contained to a quarter acre. No structures were affected by the fire, but it did cause an abrupt end to the show.
Thanks to the rapid response from firefighters, the fire was swiftly contained and extinguished, preventing further damage and ensuring the safety of all attendees.
