This fire wound have to burn the entire city to get to them, but they are worried about other fires starting.

That's a legit concern which has already become a problem. Both of the other fires I mentioned earlier are now over 200 acres.

I'm in Spokane...a few blocks from one of the latest level 3 evacuation order. I'm glued to the Watch Duty app.

The landfill is within the perimeter. Hell, it can't be good to have a fire actually get rolling there.

Was listening to DNR talk about the fire saying its resembled a forest fire due to the constant wind.

Supposedly another fire was in the early stages south of the other ones by Downriver golf course when a news person saw white smoke and called it in. Helicopter dropped water on it and that appears to be okay now.

We know there has been fire at the sports complex, outside of the mapped perimeter. If it crosses Assembly Street it puts a whole bunch of homes under threat.

Once the rando hack "news" accounts on X catch wind of an event Xwitter becomes damn near useless if you don't have a few reliable follows in your feed. It just becomes a pile of parrots ripping off "news" that is hours old........all for the clicks.

I’m sure the libtards up there are already blaming it on global warming.. I mean climate change and not their idiotic forest management policies.
