Officials hope that a break in the weather will allow firefighters to contain a series of wildfires in northern Washington that left three firefighters dead, and forced many from their homes.
While thousands of people remain under evacuation orders, some residents affected by the Okanogan Complex of wildfires will be escorted to their homes on Saturday, according to fire officials. Officials do not have an accurate count of how many homes have been destroyed by the fires.
Fire spokesman Rick Isaacson said the Okanogan Complex of wildfires measured 355 square miles on Saturday, the AP reported. He said since Friday the fire has grown 100 square miles.
Firefighters should get a break in the weather Saturday, when winds are expected to calm significantly. But that will mean air quality issues for the Inland Northwest as the smoke will have no place to go.
