LYLE, WA (KPTV) -

A wildland fire is growing on the Washington side of the Columbia River gorge.

It started shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday just northwest of Lyle, WA. The Department of Natural Resources tells us the fire has grown to about 200 acres, but so far no buildings are threatened and no injuries have been reported.

This is the same area that burned back in August 2010, when a fire scorched more than 2,000 acres in Klickitat Canyon.
