Wildfires continued to rage out of control throughout California and the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday, killing at least six people and devastating half a dozen towns in Oregon.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said that in the last 24 hours, the state had"experienced unprecedented fire with significant damage and devastating consequences." "This could be the greatest loss of human lives and property due to wildfire in our state's history," she said at a news conference. In Washington State, Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz said that a child had died in one of the state's largest wildfires, the 163,00-acre Cold Springs fire. The blaze is burning mid-way between Spokane and Seattle. Franz didn't offer details but said she was devastated by the death.
Two people were found at the same location, Honea said. The third was found elsewhere. Honea declined to provide additional details until the remains are identified.
