Old Trails Fire Forces Statewide Emergency | Portland Maine News
Description
A devastating wildfire known as the Old Trails Fire has ripped through Spokane’s Indian Trail neighborhood, sparking a statewide emergency as Washington battles record-breaking drought, heat, and wind. Governor Bob Ferguson has declared a state of emergency and imposed a burn ban through September 30th to curb escalating fire risks. Over 100 National Guard members are now on the ground, helicopters have dropped nearly a million gallons of water, and FEMA has approved federal funds to cover up to 75% of firefighting costs. While evacuations and widespread damage continue, no lives have been lost — with all efforts focused on containment and community support.
