Spokane Is On Fire! Hundreds Of Homes Have Burned Down As Massive Wildfires Rage All Over The Western U.S.<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Economic Collapse<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The map above is so crazy that I don\u2019t even have the words to adequately describe it. It is a real map that comes from\u00a0WatchDuty.org<\/a>, and it shows wildfires that are actively burning in this country right now. As you can see, enormous wildfires are raging throughout the western third of the nation. A combination of intense heat, severe drought, high winds and neglected forests have created conditions that are unlike anything the region has ever seen before. Every day more homes are being lost, and the economic damage that we are witnessing is incalculable.<\/p>\n

As I write this article, three large wildfires that have just erupted are causing immense damage in the Spokane area.<\/p>\n

According\u00a0to the latest update<\/a>, approximately 7,500 acres have burned, more than 600 structures have been destroyed, and all three fires are 0% contained\u2026<\/p>\n

Several fires exploded in size across Spokane County on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

A combination of three fires has burned about 7,500 acres, and all three are still 0% contained. California Interagency Incident Management Team 7 is assuming command of the Spokane Area Fires, which consist of the Autumn Lane Fire, Old Trails Fire and Fairview Fire.<\/p>\n

Fire authorities confirmed to KREM 2 that over 600 structures have been destroyed by the fires.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was a mad scramble to evacuate on Saturday evening, and as a result there were huge traffic jams throughout the city.<\/p>\n

In some cases, those stuck in the traffic jams could literally see giant flames approaching in their rear view mirrors.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine being in that position?<\/p>\n

There were many that left with only the clothes on their backs.<\/p>\n

That is how fast this happened.<\/p>\n

And when some of them finally return home, they will discover that they have lost everything.<\/p>\n

Of the 600 structures that have burned down, authorities cannot yet tell us\u00a0how many of them were homes<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Cossel said they couldn\u2019t say how many of the structures burned were homes at this time. He added that it could take up to a week for crews to arrive and assess the exact number of how many homes lost.<\/p>\n

The California Interagency Incident Management Team 7 said the Spokane Area Fires is the No.1 priority in the nation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course we know that many of the structures that burned down were homes, because we have seen footage of entire neighborhoods burning\u00a0on the news<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
