NESPELEM, Wash. 10,000 acres have burned in Nespelem and the surrounding areas. Smoke still fills the air, and on the Colville Reservation, people are still under orders to evacuate.
Those who live in these rural areas always know wildfires are a threat, but many can’t believe they’re seeing this much devastation this early in the season.
“I seen a little dark cloud with a plume on the top of it, and I looked at it and said ‘Oh my gosh, I hope that’s not dropping anything on us, ” said Enid Wippel, who lives near the fire.

NESPELEM, Wash. “I started getting emotional. I start crying and I’m like, ‘Come on, please pray. ”
Relying on prayers to persevere that’s how Barbara Cox is trying to move forward after fleeing her home in Nespelem with her 20-month old daughter.
“In the last 30 years, I haven’t seen a fire like this,” said Cox.
Her daughter has asthma and Barbara isn’t sure when she’ll be able to go back home.
“I just don’t want my daughter around that, because breathing in all that black smoke is making her health a lot worse,” said Cox.

North Shore acid spill a $150k mess
A truck driver who drove away from a spill of sulphuric acid in Geelong has been fined $50,000 and ordered to pay nearly $95,000 for the clean up, as well as thousands in court costs.
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) prosecuted Wallan man Charles Roy Johnson over the spill of more than 1,000 litres of sulphuric acid into a roadside drain on Madden Avenue, North Shore.
The Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard that Mr Johnson had pulled over to fix a problem with his windscreen wipers, then smoked a cigarette before continuing on his way, but did not notice that the load of acid was steadily leaking into a roadside drain.
