Washington Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz toured two of eastern Washington’s major wildfire sites today [Wednesday], where thousands of acres on Indian reservations have burned. They are two of more than a thousand fires reported this season in Washington, already an all-time record, she says.
Franz went to Wellpinit to learn about the Sherwood fire, which has burned about 1,100 acres on the Spokane Indian reservation. Then she drove to Inchelium to hear about the progress of a fire burning on the Colville Indian reservation.
“We’re not even through the end of July. What we’re seeing on the landscape, the fires that I’ve been visiting, we don’t usually see until late August, typically the peak of our fire season, she said.
