| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Very dry and critical fire conditions over Eastern Washington during July and August produced dry fuels across the region. These fuels, with an incoming cold front's strong winds, created an outbreak of wildfires, blowing smoke, and dust late September 6th - 7th. These conditions ignited over 20 wildfires which destroyed hundreds of thousand acres of land, crops, and homes. 80 percent of the small town of Malden, and nearby Pine City, burned during a fast moving wildfire. There were over 500 miles of Interstate 90, state highways, and roads closed due to fires, low visibility from smoke and dust, and blocked from downed trees. One fatality and two severe injuries occurred when trying to escape one of the wildfires. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Whitney Wildfire, 6 miles northwest of Davenport, was ignited by a downed powerline on September 7th. Fueled by dry conditions and strong wind gusts, the extreme fire behavior and rapid growth lead to a total 127,430 acres, which included buildings, livestock, and grass lost. The cost of fighting the fire was calculated at 2.5 million dollars and contained by mid-September. |
