It’s been a tough and disastrous wildfire season for the U.S. and other parts of the world. The recent wildfire outbreak in Spokane is now the worst disaster for this area in modern history. As of the weekend, three major blazes have consumed more than 10,000 acres and destroyed nearly 1,000 structures that include homes, barns, outbuildings and sheds. More than 60,000 people had to be evacuated when the blazes broke out.
The three major Spokane blazes that the Old Trails fire, Autumn Lane fire and the Fairview Fire exploded Aug. 1 as high winds spewed embers that moved into neighborhoods within hours. It has been shocking and heartbreaking to see some of the photos and videos of raging infernos.
