Cooler temps aid in battle against Spokane fires that have forced hundreds from their homes
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.
“Hundreds of people have completely lost their homes and farms, and many are prohibited from returning to their homes or neighborhoods as crews continue to extinguish smoldering embers,” the state’s entire congressional delegation wrote Monday in asking President Donald Trump to approve an expedited emergency declaration.
The man was allegedly walking near the fire Saturday and had been stopped twice by sheriff's deputies and a state investigator. He was released both times.
