The three blazes together are ranked as the top firefighting priority in the US as a whole. Online drone footage ‌showed the Old Trails Fire ‌swept out of a state park into ⁠wooded, suburban neighbourhoods, turning homes to ash, melting cars and leaving only blackened trees standing. "We're still in a firefight here," said Tom Stokesberry, spokesman for firefighting teams in the area. No ‌fatalities had been reported from ​the Spokane fires, Stokesberry said. Stokesberry said an additional 1100 firefighters were en route to Spokane to double the force seeking to fully suppress the fires.
