⁣
Many evacuees among the tens of thousands forced to flee a cluster of wildfires near Spokane were allowed back to their homes on Sunday as firefighters stepped up efforts to extinguish the remaining hot spots.⁣
⁣
As of Sunday, those fires had scorched more than 40 sq km and destroyed or heavily damaged more than 900 homes in and around Spokane.⁣
⁣
At the height of the conflagration, as many as 64,000 residents were under evacuation orders as wind-driven flames engulfed neighborhoods and kept firefighters on the defensive.⁣
