Seattle, August 25 (RHC)-- In news from the U.S. state of Washington, officials say the wildfires burning across more than a quarter of a million acres in central Washington are now the largest in the state’s history. More than 1,000 firefighters and 700 National Guardsmen are battling the blazes.
Meanwhile, in eastern Washington, fires have forced the school district on the Spokane Indian Reservation to postpone the beginning of school due to poor air quality and firefighting on nearby roads.
