Fires are burning all over the West. These photos from a small town near the Washington-Idaho border are stunning. But then there are many stunners today... #LocalJournalism https://t.co/6TYCVDNwJb

Washington, we are facing unprecedented wildfires. Please follow evacuation orders, be mindful of poor air quality, and avoid activities that could cause fires. Let’s support those in need and our emergency workers on the frontlines. pic.twitter.com/1Cb8yE0Puc

While many are still under investigation, 90% of Washington's wildfires are human-caused — they could have been prevented. Do everything you can to prevent new fires from starting. Avoid activities that could cause sparks. Our firefighters need us to do our part. #WaWILDFIRE pic.twitter.com/8MZF7xBv5z
