There's a huge fire near Spokane and that smoke is going to add to it. Terrible situation over there.
Gray Fire @ 12000 Block of S Gray Rd, Southwest of Lakeland Village - #GrayFire https://share.watchduty.org/i/10877
Holy shit, had no idea. It's that big after only 6 hours!
On satellite it looks like a lot of dead grass and brush. Forward spread in the high winds is going to be tough to get contained.
