Summary
Washington’s wildfire season is exploding—over 1,000 fires have scorched more than 425,000 acres already, with the worst yet ahead. Extreme fire conditions are forecast for this weekend, fueled by 50-mph southerly winds and bone-dry terrain. This is the first time the National Weather Service has issued a heightened red flag warning, urging residents to avoid sparking fires and prepare for rapid evacuations. Major blazes like the Modrite and Kaiser Canyon fires threaten communities on the Colville Reservation, with federal disaster funds now approved for Modrite. The National Guard is mobilizing, firefighters are on high alert, and officials stress: if you’re told to leave, leave immediately—these fires move fast and burn hot.
