Wildfires - Washington, USA
A small but fast-moving wildfire in Spokane prompted evacuation notices for more than 700 homes, authorities said Tuesday. The so-called Upriver Beacon Fire, which was less than 1 square mile (2.6 sq. kilometer), broke out near a residential area. Several homes caught fire, according to Spokane Valley Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Rose. State officials said at least one structure had been completely destroyed.

The growth of multiple wildfires in Southern Oregon led to evacuation orders in three areas Wednesday night. The Grants Pass, Applegate Valley and Wimer areas were each threatened by a wildfire dangerous enough to prompt officials to prepare or require locals to leave their homes.
There are more than 160 wildfires burning across Southern Oregon, most of them sparked by a lightning storm last Sunday.
