Wildfires in eastern Washington state have forced the evacuation of 60,000 people in the Spokane area, while destroying at least 600 homes, businesses and other structures, authorities said Sunday.⁣
⁣
Three fires in and around Spokane, the state's second largest city, have burned about 21 sq km, with no containment yet achieved, officials said on Sunday. ⁣
⁣
They add to the total of 15 fires that are currently sweeping through the state, with a total of 1,000 sq km burned across the state according to Dave Upthegrove, the state’s Commissioner of Public Lands.⁣
⁣
While fire and law enforcement officials have said there had been no reports of injuries or people unaccounted for, US Senator Maria Cantwell has said that the area is "not out of danger" and that "the next couple of days will be challenging.”⁣
⁣
Investigators had yet to determine how the blazes started.⁣
