Schools, nursing homes, gas stations, shopping malls burned to the ground. Someone said it looked like a bomb went off. The three fires within the city have zero containment, and these figures are preliminary. It appears to be a massive disaster of the kind that destroyed Palisades, where 7,000 buildings were destroyed.

Was the fire department properly funded? Were the water reservoirs filled? Were the fire trucks in good order? Were earlier fires completely stomped out? Did greenie policies hamper anything? Were there illegal homeless encampments in the north of Spokane where fires were started for drug use? The area seems to have a history of it as recently as 2025. And, to be fair, the progressive city council did take action to at least try to shut them down &#8212; see here. But to put it into context, the state Supreme Court last year struck down an ordinance banning homeless camps, too. Did that open the door to this wildfire?<\/p>\n<p>These things will come to light as time goes on, though we have our suspicions.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt also had other recommendations about where to go from here, calling for a reframing of national priorities:<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Fire is a weapon of mass destruction. We need to treat it like the national security threat it is.
