At least one person was killed and thousands are under mandatory evacuation orders as fast-moving wildfires tear through eastern Washington and "problematic" weather is making it difficult for firefighters to get control of the flames, officials said Saturday.
The so-called Gray Fire burned over 185 structures near Spokane and had burned over 9,500 acres as of Saturday morning, the Washington Department of Natural Resources said. It was 0% contained, the department said in a social media post. It wasn't clear how the fire started, but it sparked around noon Friday and was fueled by wind and dry brush. Officials in Spokane County declared a state of emergency as of noon Saturday in response to the fire.
