Fire, Resilience, and Ancient Rocks | Spokane News
Description
A wildfire tore through the Little Spokane Natural Area, burning nearly 9,000 acres and forcing evacuations, but miraculously spared ancient Indian Painted Rocks and historic farms. Park crews are now clearing debris and hazardous trees to ensure safety, while foresters plan for years of recovery, managing reburn risks and invasive species. For longtime resident Ty Brown, the fire was terrifying and heartbreaking for neighbors who lost homes — yet the enduring rock art stands as a symbol of resilience amid the valley’s new chapter of healing.
