#NBCNews #Washington #Wildfires
where is the mighty US army? oh right theyre poking russia and iran 6000 miles away lol
are they going to shoot the fire?
@joey_rooklyn Maybe if we just replaced their service rifles with squirt guns.
@joey_rooklyn better luck at that than stirring trouble with russia and iran
Didn’t even use
My brother works in the psychiatric hospital in Medical Lake, the story he is telling me is very different from the mainstream media story.
i did my rounds at Eastern. idk where you would evac them to, can’t be in with gp
It’s a fire, they happen all the time. It’s not that deep lol
I live here in the Spokane area. Happy to clarify anything maybe your brother said. 🤷🏼♂️
I think a lot of the residents of the hospital escaped and found their way to comment on this video.
@Mad Gunny
No, its over 200 fires starting up the same week..thats called arson. ESPECIALLY when someone spots a dude in Spokane tossing a lit molotov cocktail into the dry grass. Its getting real guys. The media won’t tell the whole story. Probably bc the mainstream media is owned by someone who benefits from the fires. All this burnt land..sit back and watch who buys it up at a fair price
Thank you first responders and everyday heroes. You may not be featured on the news or your story of courage told, but God knows what you’ve done in service to your fellow man. May your reward be great in heaven. God bless. 🙏
They are fighting a losing war. They can’t win. Nature has had enough of what’s been done to her.
not ‘dozens’ of homes, hundreds
A little over 900, so almost a thousand.
Who started this one
DEW

A farmer set this one working on his field
They’re called lightning strikes you ignoramuses!
ទេវតាដាក់ទោសហើយ
I pray that the tropical storm can make it up to you.. this is so awful, everyday another disaster..Global warming is not a myth.. there is daily devastation happening in the world.
no the storm presents as winds before rain. like the winds from a storm that fkd Maui. The wind from Hilary huricane is expected to make it worse.
@joey_rooklynMan caused.
😂😂😂😂
My heart goes out to everyone affected. Im from NW Washington. Live in Oregon now. Both states are hurting.. proof Washingtonians are wonderful people and we are resilient.
Incorrect. Lived in Spokane for over two years mostly garbage people/drivers. Then spent some time in Oregon. Between Tiller and Medford. Same result. Wondering where all the normal people are.
@Santos Carrillodweeb
@Santos Carrillonot in the cities
North in the Okanagan in Canada there are big deadly fires as well.
Title of this video sounds like a Bob Dylan lyric.
Ridiculously sad 😢🙏🏽💟
Climate Change Environmental Terrorism?
Did action from such organizations compound the Maui disaster, as it would be easy to get in and out as a quirky tourist?
You should ask Juan de Fuca that question
What on earth, Canada, Washington . . . World is on fire.
@Ila Hilda Sissac I forgot Spain and France, too.
Direct Energy Weapons
DEW WITH A DASH OF WEF!
There’s wild fires in bc and eastern Washington every year.
You can thank Juan de Fuca for this mess
I thought jay Inslees .46 cents per gallon carbon tax was going to fix all our climate change problems 😂
Nah we need a lot more than that to make any kind of progress. That’s like putting a bandaid on a severed limb
@Mad Gunny only if we had a Mr Fusion Device like the back to future movies could we be totally green energy
Help pay for the Direct Energy Weapons.
This fire had nothing to do with climate change, it is because of poor land management in the interface area around lakes and property.
Another blue no.matter who unmanaged state
Must be nice to set these fires then blame it on climate 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah the earth definitely isn’t getting hotter or dryer or anything. Everything is just a big conspiracy out to get out 😂
Juan de Fuca is the one to blame!
stay safe my FD brothers and sisters
Republicans:”Climate change is hoax! Arsonists are real! Go burn all Dems states!” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
My oh my, the pain of losing a vacation home. Oh the horror of it all.
Very true brother! This BS economy keeps me in the poor house, don’t get to go ANYWHERE so don’t feel sorry for them at all. Those mansions burning should NEVER have been built there!!
@El WYour talking out your ass.A lot of those homes were not vacation homes.What a dumb thing to say.
@El W Spokane is not a rich area. W
@Terri Fiorelli oh yea? All the houses they show on the news are two and three stories. Oh, the horror of it all !!!!!
Capitalism reality: every disaster is an opportunity for profit
What you are not being told is this is a planned extermination agenda using extreme weather and firestorms to systematically exterminate us all and those involved blame the weather and the fire so there is no accountability for their actions, FEMA Agents going in after you are evacuated steal anything of value you left behind and torch your house regardless to cover their tracks. No need to worry about foreign enemies because Our Government is the ones doing this to us.
All of Eastern Washington is in the “very unhealthy” to “Hazardous” rating for smoke. I live 135 miles away and can’t leave my house because of the smoke…but at least I still have a house.
Government burning its own land
Burn, let the Blues burn into Red
Well, move the fire, The fire is burning a red area.
This is Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ district. Hard to imagine anywhere more red.
Are you for real? Red and blue is all you can see here? There are dozens of children that just got burned out of their homes and are now sleeping on the gym floor of the local high school of a small town. Animals are walking through charred, Barren forests. And a grandma is sitting in front of a tent with a grand child in a parkinglot. This should NOT be happening to ANYONE. And btw, im gonna call it arson. A very well planned arson to destabalize our country even more than it is.
Why do you peoplepick the worst times to be this silly?
With wildfires becoming prevalent some ways should be developed to protect structures. One way is to install a system of sprinklers around the structure. The sprinklers should be attached to a system of water tanks and pumps. It could be activated remotely when needed.
Look at Logan Lake, BC for an example of this working after the whole town burned years ago
The way to get rid of these fake fires is to get rid of corrupt evil gvmnts worldwide
To all those laughing about blues burning into red, the Spokane area and its surroundings vote red mostly. So you are enjoying their suffering.
Inslee is in globalist heaven with this tragedy.
I’m “blue” and I’m not enjoying your suffering. And I don’t know any “blues” who are. Even with your asinine comments like the ones ones made here.
@Barnaby Jones & Danger Dognone of us are enjoying watching disaster happen. We just went through one fire here that killed over a hundred people. Anyone with any compassion feels for those families in BC and WA and the flooding in CA.
@Barnaby Jones & Danger Dogif you scroll further down in the comments you’ll see what I am talking about
Remember all the blues who rooted burned business looting black business and claiming we support blm well karma really does exist
Let’s pretend all this is “normal” and not part of climate change.
People are so brain dead that a targeted attack on the US does not cross their mind. Everything is a natural cause or power lines.
You may be paranoid but (bwa-ha-ha) “everyone out there” IS out to get you.” (NOT).
@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442 little people with little brains are out to get me.
Has to be climate change, anyone that says otherwise hates science.
I have never seen wild fires like this in my entire life. Wth is going on
The level of stupidity is mind blowing in this country. As a Washingtonian who lives near Spokane, I really feel for those impacted by these fires, but, these asinine comments sure are making it hard.
Arson is going on. Thats what! And its not just ine person doing it. Someone was spotted tossing a cocktail. And another person was spotted in the forest setting another fire. This isnt global warming. This is arson.
Juan de Fuca is what’s going on!
@Astroboy_91x ,
I’m not bringing this up from thin air. You know how soda cans create their different logos time after time. Not long before Maui “wildfires”, they created a new logo for their mountain dew drink – “mountain dew maui burst”. Google it yourself!
They’re more crazy than stupid.
I hope they don’t do like Hawaii and try and force out the residents who did not lose their homes but I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest. What a sick and evil world. And the “loving” Christians are hard at work coming up with new slogans on signs to harass the LGBT. Whadda time to be alive. 🤡
What do gays have to do with anything
Not the time and the place pal. I”m not even a red waving flag person either.
Too much lies on to lies…
Juan de Fuca did it!
I used to live outside of Seattle in Redmond, WA. Hope everyone is safe.
They are good at evacuations out here, so my friends’ homes are gone, but only 2 deaths-which is actually unusual. Washington typically gets 0 in fires, but 3 fires start in the thick of us, in high winds, within hours of each other, not far from each other, same day, 😢
All these 🔥 fires are planned! Canada, Maui, California, & now Washington. Maybe it’s meant to displace people so the Elites can steal the land🤔
You hav yur life! Be happy!!!
the population of the earth was an inevitability… the overpopulation is now….
The elites are tired of us worthless eaters. We must be exterminated.

I just love how all of these people and their heart write it down and nothing and nobody actually goes anywhere; especially not to vote someone new in, in place of the schmucks who enjoy their long careers doing nothing for this state.
I’m tired of smelling smoke everytime. The scientist’s we’re spot on about fossil fuels and burning up the planet big time. 👈🙄
Something really really weird is going on. From Quebec Canada. It’ s beyond normal and it’s generalized throughout the earth.
@Meow Chat You are mistaken !!! Mans way of thinking is not Gods way of thinking. 2 Peter 3:3-7.
@davidarmola6218 You don’t know what God is. When you choose to escape accountability by entering into a false contractual agreement with a false God then you have literally betrayed yourself and sealed your fate.
@Meow Chat What does, flooding, fires, hurricanes, wars, rain and Bible Prophecy have to do with plate tectonics???? Get your thinking straight before you open your mouth. Ecclesiastes 10:3. I know who you are John 8:44.
@davidarmola6218 Plate tectonics represent one piece of the puzzle that deciphers your misinterpreted Biblical prophecies. You cannot rely on writings that have undergone intentional distortion which alters the perception of the original message, thus allowing pre-designed and purposive misrepresentations to occur.
One piece of what puzzle??? You really dont get it !!! If you’re going to bark with the big dogs don’t pee with the puppies. You’ve not presented one ounce of evidence to substantiate your claim or support your puzzle theory. All you’ve presented is the phase “plate tectonics” without any explanation. Before you were weaned from your mother I knew what that was. There are many different features to the “Sign” that Jesus gave to mankind to watch for during the time of his “presence” and the “conclusion” of this system of things and they are not open to interpretation by anyone. They are straight forward truth, ie: Matthew 24:14. Maybe you’re an Atheist or an Agnostic. Who knows??? I’ll give you a Prophecy that is waiting to be fullfilled in the near feature. When the cry of “Peace and Security” goes out world wide then you’ll know that judgement on the wicked has begun and that the door to the figurative Ark has closed. Compare 1Thessalonians 5:3. This conversation is over.
Arson
These are the last of the “Last Day’s” Matthew 24:3-17. Jesus said it would be this way during the time of his “Presence” and the “Conclusion” of this system of things. He said there would be “Fearful Sights” during this time period. Compare Luke 21:11. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Washington. Zephaniah 2:3
Worlds smallest violin for people losing their vacation homes. Who cares!
☝️dude man making fun of people and can’t even spell. 😂
@chaotic twig defending the elites ehh? 😂
@Super Duper how’s that defending the elites? I also liked how edited your first comment and gave yourself a like on your second comment.
just remember climate change isn’t real and even if it is real, its not man-made so there is nothing we can do but let the world burn.
The initial response to wildfires is often very slow and or inadequate. Fire is big money for fire chiefs and Climate change spewing politicians. No public review is ever conducted on fire response, no media inquiry, no political inquiry, I wonder why?
marilah membaca MERAKAM bacaan Al-Quran dalam bahasa yang mudah difahami, dengarlah RAKAMAN berkali kali, fahamilah Al-Quran ilmunya dengan PENGASIH dan PENYAYANG kembalilah ke SYURGA ALLAH Wallahua’lam
I’m actually glad cause it’s slowly destroying the United States, a pathetic excuse for a country burn USA! May it’s enemies walk over a destroyed nation
Global Fire Change
The air is better today. These fires started right in the THICK of all of the adorable towns and cities that pepper the outskirts of Spokane. It’s not all open around us. So this is terrifying. 😢
This is because they ignored control burns stopped doing them for five to eight years all the way through Washington Oregon and Northern California. All because the rich communities didn’t like the smoke. Karma has a way of biting people with the butt.
This isn’t the law of karma..this is arson. 200 fires popping up the same week? Yea, this isnt any natural law. Someone has an agenda and burning land is how to get it. There will probably be a land grab next. Parasites.
Your ignorant. More like man made weather. Try GEOENGINERING. IF YOU KNOW , YOU KNOW.
The government is doing this
Shocker?NOT. Why does it seem to be fires are where homes are mostly. It’s interesting how that’s happening. Tragic actually.
Cause only you can prevent forest fires. Cigarettes, and sparks from many human made things. Not surprising
จึงวิเคราะได้ว่ามาแรงคือไฟน้ำต้องแรงเช่นกันถึง6เท่า/เปอร์เซนต
Do they use the 747 Boeing water bombers?
They can’t when the smoke is too thick like it is. That would be nice. And they have to have good water sources.
Isn’t this something! Canada, Maui, this place. When will it end? Never
Juan de Fuca is behind this mess!
@meowchat6175 😊 you, may your day be cool.
This is arson. People are spotting people attempting to set fires. People are staying in their homes bc someone driving a water truck is driving through secured areas and robbing people.
Michigan #1.
To be honest the Grey fire only got as big as it did because they didn’t and still are not even fighting the fire. The are focusing solely on the structures. That isn’t trying to containers the fires!
Are people really surprised? People who are ok will just watch and do nothing. Inwanna say 70% of America cant and wont do anything to help. Survival of the economically ok!
Biden’s poll numbers crashing with every bribery, extortion, embezzlement and bunko reveal, is it any surprise their Hottest Day on Record! was _an AI Computer Simulation stunt?_ Then the Lahaina Fire. Now more forest fires than lightning strikes. Is arson out of control? The DNC Summer of Love solution: burn the house down to save it.
Land mismanagement. We have the same thing going on in Michigan. They have been tearing out beaver dams and man made dams so we now have floods and droughts, just like in the west. The E.U.P. and Northern Michigan has not had a fire since 1920 so when it burns it will destroy everything. Only a matter of time before we have a big burn.
Hopefully Les and Kathleen King have lost their house. Absolutely horrid people.
**YOUR HOUSE WILL BE NEXT!!** — ALMIGHTY GOD
Praying you guys get some rain, enough to smother these fires.
Crazy these fires just starting out of no we’re …
Juan de Fuca started it!
Why homes are burning not just regular empty land land?
Because Juan de Fuca is behind this mess!
Devastating! The smoke could be seen all the way to the Olympic Peninsula and the smell of smoke awful!
America is on 🔥
Like never before
❤😢
Stop your whining……..2 weeks on from the Maui fires and still 850 people are missing. Normally most of those people are found within a week………If 800 plus people have died in those wildfires it would have been the largest death toll by wildfires in recent memory. To give you a comparison The Campfire Wildfire in Cali killed under 100 people.
Plan to do 15 min city’s?!
Everyone hates and spits Jesus christ in the face so therefore humanity and their disgusting sins must be punished
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
😂
I’m born and raised in Toledo Washington so I hope everyone’s okay
I don’t get why they don’t do seasonal burn offs to prevent fires and stop building among pine trees and thick vegetation although I understand and love being surrounded by nature but these fires can seriously be prevented from being as furious and uncontrollable as they are .
Possibly, although some have been started by lightning in the mountains where there’s no logging being done because of the terrain.
Prayers go out for everyone and please keep safe ❤
To avoid death by these punishments from God hurricane wildfires heatwave more mag 6 earthquake tsunami volcano lightnings hailstones tornadoes meteorite North and South Americans to convert to Islam August 22, 2023.
That race of people are going through..
going through **WHAT**?
Joel 2:30 in the Bible And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke.
This is the last days. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
@Deon4769Amen
Jesus said this was coming. The earth shall burn with ferverent heat. Read john 3.3. You must be born again, if you put your faith in Jesus, you are born again, dont wait, tomorrow is not promised.
Washington state government agencies showing their true level of competence.
Smart to be wearing those face masks.
Not just so you dont choke or caugh.
I am finding out the “residue” from the stuff burning up can expose you and lead possibly to a mish mash of nuerologocal long term problems.
Possibly even dementia!
This fire started Friday afternoon, 185 homes was destroyed n medical lake, wa.

If this isn’t proof against anti-white global terrorism all over the world I don’t know what is.
How many fires are these international criminals going to set in white communities before we do something?
Just a reminder that “ARSON” is not climate change!
World is on fire, and it will only get worst! We waste our lives collecting crap that it will be gone in an instance and nothing we can do! Enjoy life and collect less.
Every day is a nightmare
GOOD!👍🏾 HALLELUJAH! 👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉
of course its important Ukraine get help before Hawaii or Washington
Zero attention or federal relief for this I’m guessing…hopefully Ukraine will need more money soon maybe Washington will get a “no comment” and .0029% of the next Ukrainian aid package.
Democrat arson. Cabal & Us.gov. set by democrats. Just like Maui. Democrats killed 25 children and 2 pregnant women. Waco Tx.
Keep voting Republican, that way climate change will just magically go away.
It’s only going to get worse. Only those who understand that they need to be saved will be saved. The Saviour of humanity will come in 2023 to put an end to all this suffering. It will be the end of this world. All the Bible prophecies are being fulfilled. Uncontrollable fire. Unbreathable air. Destructive hail storm. Scorching heat. Famine. Euphrates is drying up before the second coming of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, just as predicted. These are just few examples.
According to the Bible, 3 and a half years after the routine ceased and the abomination of desolation is established (that is the pandemic), Jesus will come and it will be the end of this world. Matthew 24. Daniel 12. Revelation 11. Revelation 13.
Since then, most of the seals have been opened, most of the trumpets have sounded. Soon, the 7 plagues will fall on earth.
There will be no 2024. Jesus will come in 2023.
Do not wait to believe in Him when He will come. It will be too late. He is the only one who loved you so much that He gave His life for you. He is coming to deliver those who have accepted that they needed to be saved to bring them to a place where there will be no suffering, no climate change, no death. You can be part of this if you choose to believe and prepare for his imminent coming.
