More than 600 structures lost as 60,000 evacuate in Washington state wildfires

Officials have yet to determine how many of the destroyed structures were homes, businesses or schools. No injuries have been reported.

Wildfires in the Spokane, Washington, region continued burning Sunday, destroying more than 600 structures and forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate.

The three blazes, which collectively are being called the Spokane Complex Fire, have burned 7,708 acres and are zero percent contained, according to a federal incident management team that is coordinating the response.

No injuries have been reported in any of the fires.

The fires are “really the worst natural disaster our region has faced,” Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

The Spokane Complex Fire includes the Old Trails Fire, which has burned 3,619 acres; the Fairview Fire, which stands at 1,056 acres burned; and the Autumn Lane Fire, which has consumed 3,351 acres, according to federal incident management.
