Chelan Hills Fire: Tragedy and Resilience | Spokane News

A devastating wildfire in the Chelan Hills has burned over 9,700 acres, claimed at least one life, and destroyed multiple homes—including a quirky hobbit-hole rental—under a still-active Level Three evacuation order. Firefighters battle fierce winds and dry heat as containment sits at just 20%, while authorities search for missing residents and identify remains found in a burned vehicle. Some, like a vineyard owner, saved their property through defensible space, but neighbors suffered catastrophic losses. Community support is pouring in via GoFundMe campaigns as the region braces for more red flag conditions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
