Challenging fire weather returns to Pacific Northwest as crews battle destructive Spokane blazes
Fire crews in Washington state working tirelessly to contain destructive blazes in the Spokane area are preparing for a new bout of flame-fueling winds and intense heat that will arrive on Friday and continue through the weekend.
The disaster is beginning to resemble the neighborhood-level devastation seen during Southern California's deadly Palisades fire.
Wildfires near Spokane, Washington, have forced thousands to evacuate, destroyed homes and damaged hundreds of structures as crews battle the blazes.
Spokane wildfires have burned over 10,000 acres, destroyed 700 structures and forced 65,000 evacuations as smoke spreads.
SPOKANE, Wash. — Fire crews continued to make progress battling three wildfires overnight, strengthening containment lines and mopping up a spot fire, an incident commander said Tuesday.
Crews have taken advantage of cooler weather to begin getting a handle on wildfires that have displaced tens of thousands of people around Washington state’s second-largest city, but hotter, drier and windier days lie ahead.
