Firefighters were still battling Monday to gain control of wildfires that tore through residential areas in and around Spokane over the weekend. The three fires that are part of the Spokane Complex have burned more than 8,000 acres, according to figures updated Monday morning. Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels said his agency received around 290 calls concerning people the department wanted to locate as the fires and evacuation efforts unfolded. Statewide, at least 17 major fires are burning across 262,000 acres, Washington Public Lands Commissioner Dave Upthegrove said Monday. Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh, adjutant general of the state’s National Guard, described seeing burned sections of the Spokane area that resemble a war zone.
