Chelan County Fire District 6 Chief Andy Lee said the ‘pops’ neighbors were hearing were actually from the propane tank inside the tool shed, along with noise from the trees burning.

Lee said the fire also destroyed a plow truck and a vehicle close to the shed. A third vehicle had minor damage from the fire.

Around 7 a.m., firefighters were finished mopping up the fire.

Nobody was injured.

Cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
