The wildfires have caused significant displacement, with 60,000 residents evacuated from the Spokane area alone. Over 700 structures, including homes and businesses, have been destroyed in Washington. Smoke from the fires is creating hazardous air quality conditions across the Northwest, affecting millions of people. Gusty winds and high temperatures are expected to exacerbate the spread of the fires, while areas farther east, including the northern Plains, face moderate wildfire risks. The ongoing fires are stretching the capacity of firefighting agencies at federal, state, and local levels.
