Old Trails Fire Roars Through Spokane | Portland News
Description
A wildfire in Spokane, Washington, exploded into chaos over the weekend — the Old Trails Fire raced through brush and grass, jumped the Spokane River, and forced thousands to flee their homes. By Saturday night, it had burned nearly four square miles with zero containment, fueled by wind and heat. Governor Bob Ferguson declared a state of emergency as record-breaking fires spread across Washington, with the National Weather Service warning of “particularly dangerous” conditions. Power company Avista shut off electricity in the area for safety, urging residents to heed evacuation orders as officials scrambled to contain the blaze. The cause? Still unknown — but nature’s fury is no joke.
