Episode Details

Spokane firefighters are making strides against deadly wildfires, thanks to cooler weather that’s helped contain three major blazes — but hotter, drier winds loom later this week. While some residents are being allowed home, tens of thousands remain displaced, including vulnerable patients and families like Debra Curran, who’s sheltering with her ALS-stricken husband. The fires — including Autumn Lane and Fairview — are suspected to be human-caused, though not necessarily intentional. Authorities have arrested a 37-year-old man in connection with the Old Trails Fire, who denies responsibility. As Washington faces one of its worst fire seasons on record, federal and state teams are racing to protect lives and property, while senators are assured firefighting resources will stay top priority in the Northwest.
