Little Giant Fire Burns Out of Control | Spokane News

The Little Giant fire in Central Washington is now the nation’s second-highest priority blaze, devouring 240 square miles and threatening nearly 2,400 homes after more than a month of relentless burn. With 13 firefighter injuries and at least two homes lost, crews from Australia, New Zealand, the National Guard, and the Army are battling under brutal conditions—steep terrain, dry winds, and dense pine forests. Smoke has triggered air quality alerts, local economies are suffering, and officials expect this “season-ending” fire to rage until winter snows arrive. Costs have already surpassed $101 million, trailing only Colorado’s Aspen Acres fire. The goal? Protect what’s left and keep it contained.
