Episode Details

Wildfires near Spokane are finally gaining ground thanks to cooler temps—but heat’s roaring back. Firefighters have built containment lines around three major blazes, including one suspected arson case, forcing tens of thousands from their homes. While some can return, many remain displaced—like Debra Curran, stuck in a convention center with her husband due to his medical needs. Critical services are also reeling: the VA hospital evacuated patients, and families like Adam Wilson’s, who just moved into their home last month, now face emotional upheaval without even losing their property. Washington battles 16 uncontained fires across 670+ square miles—the worst fire season on record. Federal and state leaders scramble to keep resources flowing as Aaron Farinacci, accused of starting one blaze, faces court soon—despite past fire-related investigations.
