Rare Fire Alert Hits Eastern Washington | Seattle News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

A rare, high-level fire alert has been issued for Eastern Washington, marking the first time the National Weather Service has rated wildfire risk at a five out of five — “particularly dangerous.” With bone-dry brush and 40-mph winds expected, fires could spread explosively across the Columbia Basin, Spokane, and the Palouse. The Washington National Guard is mobilizing 110 troops for the first time in four years, while crews from Florida and Alaska are being deployed. Utilities warn of possible power shutoffs to prevent new ignitions, and officials urge everyone to avoid even accidental sparks — your actions could literally save lives. Stay tuned, heed evacuation orders, and prepare for rapid-fire growth.
