Wildfire scorched 900 buildings. A state calls the fire risk ‘moderate.’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A swath of eastern Washington just scorched by highly destructive wildfires is exempt from a new, fire-resistant state building code that will take effect in a few months for at-risk areas, according to a POLITICO analysis. A draft state wildfire map shows that the area where more than 900 buildings were recently destroyed or damaged and 65,000 residents evacuated is outside high-risk zones that will be subject to protective building standards. The exclusion of the devastated area — and almost a
DEI dispute delayed wildfire grants for area engulfed in blazes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trump administration withheld for months millions of dollars in wildfire-prevention funds from Washington communities now fighting wildfires that have forced the evacuation of 65,000 residents.

How small wildfires sparked one of Washington’s most destructive disasters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The wildfires burning around Spokane, Washington are a reminder that small blazes can cause immense destruction. The Autumn Lane, Fairview and Old Trails fires — together known as the Spokane Complex Fire — have burned only a small fraction of the acres scorched by other ongoing fires in Washington state. But they are collectively one of the state’s most destructive disasters on record, damaging or destroying at least 900 structures in a matter of days and prompting more than 60,000 evacuations.
