Episode Details

Wildfires are exploding across Washington state, forcing mass evacuations and turning convention centers into shelters as smoke chokes communities. Spokane alone has lost over 700 homes in just three fires sparked last Saturday — many of those displaced are seniors and caregivers, with no reported fatalities so far. Experts blame climate change: record-breaking dry winters, early heat waves, and powerful winds have created tinder-dry conditions that fuel catastrophic fires. The situation mirrors California’s worst, especially in vulnerable wildland-urban interface zones where homes meet forests. Fire officials warn it’s no longer a matter of if — but when — your home will burn, urging residents to clear vegetation and create defensible space around their properties.
