The wildfires in eastern Washington state have led to the destruction of nearly 600 buildings, including homes, and 60,000 people have been evacuated. Spokane, the second largest city in the state, is the most affected, with flames spreading into residential areas and consuming over 28 square miles of land.


Mayor Lisa Brown stated that the situation is alarming, and the community urgently needs help. Governor Bob Ferguson informed President Donald Trump about the severity of the fires, and he expressed his support for those affected.


Fire alerts are also in Idaho and Oregon, where high temperatures are contributing to the spread of the fires. Experts emphasize that global warming is the main cause of this fire season, which is the worst in the last three decades.
