episode_narrativeA strong cold front passage on Friday August 14th brought windy conditions and resulted in substantial blowing dust. Additionally the very hot and dry conditions and wildfire ignitions (both human caused and from lightning) over the two to three days preceding it resulted in explosive fire growth for numerous fires in Eastern Washington.
event_narrativeBroadcast media reported that multiple wrecks occurred on highway 395 south of Ritzville, WA associated with poor visibilitiy due to blowing dusts. Highway 395 had to be closed between highway 26 and Ritzville, WA. At least one vehicle caught on fire and the fire spread into the brush along the highway.
