Wildfire Turns Spokane Neighborhood Into Hellscape

1 hour ago The Front Page News

Thick smoke engulfed homes in Spokane County, Washington, as the Old Trails Fire grew to more than 500 acres on August 1, prompting officials to issue a Level 3 “Leave Now” evacuation order for residents within a five-mile radius. Strong wind gusts of up to 45 mph fueled the fast-moving blaze. Video shared on X captured heavy smoke blanketing Spokane’s Balboa neighborhood as trees and American flags whipped in the powerful winds.
