Kaiser Canyon Fire Still Uncontained | Spokane News

The Kaiser Canyon Fire, now at 53,000 acres and zero percent contained, is racing through Okanogan County fueled by dry brush and fierce winds after a lightning strike Thursday. With 500 firefighters battling the blaze, evacuations are in effect for Buffalo Lake Road and Nespelem, displacing over 1,000 residents and threatening 800 structures. Sweltering heat and low humidity are accelerating spread, while a new fire management team steps in Monday. Drones are banned over the area to avoid disrupting aerial water drops — and evacuees must wait for official clearance before returning home.
