Summary
Wildfires raging on the outskirts of Spokane, Washington, for a third day have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes in and around the state’s second-most populous city, officials said on Aug 3. 65,000 forced to evacuate from Spokane fires. "My dad just died, and all of his stuff was still in there, too." More than 700 buildings in the Spokane area have been destroyed, and another 400 have yet to be assessed, officials said Monday.
Furthermore, "It looks like Wednesday into Friday we're going to be seeing a heat trend up to the 90s, so it's really time for us to put in the work ... on this fire up north and continue the efforts with getting the communities back into their homes as soon as possible below us," he said. The cluster of three blazes ranks as the top firefighting priority in the US as a whole, including the drought-parched Pacific Northwest, where dozens of major wildfires have been burning for weeks, degrading air quality across a wide region. As of Aug 3, firefighters had yet to contain any of the three Spokane-area blazes, officials said.
