A fast-moving wildfire in eastern Washington state has destroyed at least 185 structures, closed a major highway and left one person dead.
“The fire is burning on both sides of the highway,” the Washington state Department of Transportation said on its webpage.Staff, patients and residents at Eastern State Hospital, one of the state’s two psychiatric facilities, and those living at the Lakeland Village Residential Habilitation Center, both located in Medical Lake, were sheltering in place Saturday, said Norah West, a spokesman for the Department of Social and Health Services.
Evacuees from the town were given shelter at Cheney High School overnight. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. “My thoughts are with the Medical Lake, WA, residents who have been ordered to evacuate as the Gray Fire grows,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said on X, formally known as Twitter. “I’m also praying for the safety of the first responders working to contain the fire. May you all remain safe and out of harm’s way.”
