In Spokane County, Washington, three major wildfires are forcing thousands of people to evacuate immediately. 

Hundreds of structures have burned. More than 7,700 acres are scorched. Washington’s recent climate has included dry conditions and strong winds — causing the state’s worst fire season in 30 years. The flames are still uncontained.
