Spokane Fires Leave Communities in Ash | Calgary News

Description

Wildfires tore through eastern Washington, obliterating hundreds of homes and farms, leaving neighborhoods in ash while others nearby remained untouched. Residents like Miriam and Daniel Sim, who’ve lived there since 2005, returned to find nothing left—and are now questioning if rebuilding is worth it. With nearly 300 missing persons initially reported, most have since been found. The fires, fueled by drought, are part of a massive Western crisis—with Utah’s blaze killing over 100 cattle and communities rallying with free camps for kids and online fundraising. Authorities urge people to stay away from fire zones, even with drones, to avoid disrupting critical firefighting efforts.
