Wildfires Ravage Eastern Washington | Portland News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Eastern Washington’s wildfires have devastated at least 600 structures and displaced 60,000 people in Spokane—no deaths yet, but conditions remain dangerous as winds and heat persist. Fires now cover over a thousand square kilometers, part of a massive Western U.S. crisis stretching emergency resources thin. Drone operators are being cited for flying near active flames, with 26 incidents reported in one day. Meanwhile, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah battle their own blazes—including a Utah fire that killed over 100 cattle—and federal teams from California are deployed to help. Spokane is responding with shelters, free kid camps, and postponed court cases as the entire Northwest braces for more smoke and danger.
