GRANT COUNTY, Wash. (KPTV) - A small brush fire started during a concert at The Gorge Amphitheatre on Saturday night.

In a post on X, The Gorge Amphitheatre says a brush fire broke out not far from the stage during the last song of Odesza’s set. The fire was contained and quickly extinguished by staff using hoses.

The crowd of over 1,000 people were ushered out and no one was injured.

Odesza’s show ended without an encore out of an abundance of caution and safety, according to venue.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office says the brush fire was caused by pyrotechnics used during the show.

Fire officials say the region had a “very high” fire danger at the time.
