West Fires Rage as Crews Struggle | Spokane News
Description
Wildfires are exploding across the West, with Idaho and Washington bearing the brunt as crews strain under extreme heat, dryness, and wind. Governors and firefighting chiefs warn resources are stretched thin—over 1,000 fires in Washington, 600+ in Idaho—with four firefighters already lost. In Spokane, three major fires have destroyed or damaged nearly 900 homes, forcing thousands to evacuate. Idaho’s sending engine teams for support, while officials urge the public to prevent new ignitions by following fire restrictions and extinguishing campfires completely. With over 1,500 personnel from 20 states battling flames that’ve scorched 10,000+ acres—and the Old Trails fire still only 23% contained—the danger isn’t easing anytime soon.
