Washington wildfires force evacuations and destroy homes

All right. It is 708 this morning. And this next story is certainly devastating for so many folks, but especially Ron. Several wildfires in Washington state, his home state are quickly proving that the flames can spread during hot and dry conditions. Let's get to run. He is in the control room. These images from over the weekend were just heartbreaking. Wondering if the very house that I used to live in is even still standing now there in Spokane. The devastation you guys has really been incredible right now. 60,000 people are being evacuated patients at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in the northern edge of Spokane. The mayor says this to the people who are suffering right now in our region from either loss or uncertainty. Everyone here. Our hearts go out to you. We are here for you for the long term. So it's really look at this. These are all neighborhoods that used to exist. Homes built there on the kind of the northern part of the city of Spokane. Literally dozens and dozens of city blocks are evacuated now, not way out in the hinterlands, but right in the city limits. Video showing these neighborhoods only chimneys left standing. The mayor says firefighters are working, some going without sleep for 24 hours at a time. Local officials hiring eyeing recovery efforts, federal, state and local resources. The governor says are really being stretched. I spoke to the president about what's going on. Um, I've spoken pretty clear fashion about how dire the situation is. He understands that he knew that going into the call, he expressed his support for the people are going through out here. The conditions, unfortunately, are expected to remain hot and dry through most of this week. Officials cite strong winds, which really flared up and began the fire burning, hopping literally from neighborhood to neighborhood, destroying homes. And that's a big challenge. The fires air just there in Spokane. Just some of many that are burning across the West. No deaths or injuries have been reported yet.
