Multiple wildfires north and west of Spokane, Washington, have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced 65,000 evacuations as of Tuesday afternoon, with the Little Giant Fire exceeding 51,000 acres. Three blazes remain uncontained, heavy smoke affects Washington, Idaho, and Oregon, and authorities arrested a 37-year-old Arizona man on first-degree arson charges. Sources confirm the scale of destruction and displacement but differ on underlying causes.
