Kaiser Canyon Fire Surges Through Okanogan | Spokane News

The Kaiser Canyon fire in Okanogan County is spiraling out of control, ballooning from 12,500 to over 46,000 acres in just two days—zero percent containment and racing northwest through deadly terrain fueled by wind and dry grass. More than 500 firefighters from 25 agencies are battling it with every tool at their disposal, including air support and a national incident management team arriving Sunday. The town of Nespelem evacuated nearly 1,000 residents from 800 homes, with some structures already lost and shelters being set up—including for pets and livestock. Officials warn the fire will likely keep growing before containment is possible, as crews focus on slowing its advance at the edges. Meanwhile, the Modrite fire in Ferry County also triggered evacuations, highlighting how fast and dangerous these wildfires can become.
