This is the fire that’s closest to our place. It’s about 5-6 miles from us now as the crow flies. The smoke is HORRENDOUS as you can imagine and it’s impossible to do much outside. They are burning us and smoking us out like bugs around the world as Canada has even bigger fires going right now. Oh and look at how one of those “wildfires” in Canada got it’s start. Look at the mushroom cloud. No that’s NOT supposed to happen!

But the fires appeared to continue to rage in other parts of the area.Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Joe Smillie, told the New York Times that the huge blaze destroyed several structures in Medical Lake but those numbers have yet to be quantified.
As of Friday night, there was zero percent containment of wildfire and officials are yet to release updates for Saturday.City of Medical Lake Mayor, Terri Cooper, warned residents and posted to Facebook ‘All Medical Lake citizens, get out now.”We are under Level 3 evacuations. If you need transportation, buses are available at Medical Lake High School baseball field,’ she said.
‘They will take you to Cheney High School (Red Cross Evacuation Shelter). Small animals are ok. If you need help with large animals, please contact 911 and they will assist you. Please stay diligent and safe.
‘Hours later the city issued a boiled water alert saying they’re ‘unsure of the water.’
‘We are unsure of the water quality so to be safe, we are requesting our water customers to boil water until we can get the system restored and test the water to ensure it is safe to drink,’ they posted to Facebook. Source Daily Mail UK
