Wildfires that scorched 10,000 acres in Spokane, Washington, left more than 900 homes destroyed and forced the evacuation of over 64,000 residents. The blaze came during a period of intense drought and was the highest priority for firefighting agencies across the Pacific Northwest in early August.
Despite the extensive damage, no serious injuries or deaths were reported in Spokane. The fires raged rapidly, driven by strong winds that carried flames over vast distances.
The accompanying drone footage offers a stark visual record of the devastation, showing charred landscapes and the remnants of homes that once stood in the affected neighborhoods.
