Urban wildfires like we've seen lately, like these, like Los Angeles, like in California, you really just can't stop them once they're going from house to house.
You know, the structures create the fuel for rapid spread alongside all the trees and the brush.
Now, one lucky thing I would say quickly is that the elite federal firefighting crews, some of them, including the incident commander, only had to travel from Oregon, where more than a million acres has burned so far, and they arrived in just a few hours.
Don Simpson evacuated as the Old Trails fire blew into the towering Ponderosa Pines and jumped the Spokane River.
I have to admit, going around the corner, you see the devastation.
I collapsed.
I started crying.
