Spokane is having a VERY bad day.
Every time I check, the situation is worse; multiple fires are affecting the city. I don't want to speculate, but I see little hope homes haven't been lost.
If you're in a GO NOW zone, GET THE HELL OUT
If you're are NEAR a GO NOW area, GET THE HELL OUT

I have sent an email to the incident command team (CA IIMT 7) on the Bear Gulch Fire asking about the arrests of firefighters by Border Patrol, their status, and guidance re possible future USBP action. I’ll share any updates I get.

The Little Giant has been growing at breakneck pace this weekend: by Sunday morning, the fire had burned >111,000 acres. American Red Cross has opened a shelter in Entiat. #wafire #wawx
When we published this story at 6 PM Friday, the fire had burned nearly 83,000 acres, bigger than Seattle and Vashon. By this morning, dry, gusting winds had helped the Little Giant eat another 15,000 acres overnight. #wawx #wafire
The rapidly growing Little Giant Fire more than doubled in size in just five days, burning an area larger than the city of Seattle and Vashon Island combined.
