     (So, my assessment, listening to the radio traffic--and having monitoring so many fires since 2017-- fire is no longer bouncing through neighborhoods, and evacuation zones are holding for now. They are now moving through and extinguishing anything that caught on fire earlier, although some homes are still catching fire here and there. Lots of calls for spot fires, power poles burning, etc. Shifting units around to hit hotspots and having patrols to put out anything that crops up..) 8/1/26 2219 #OldTrailsFire #wildfires #WAwx #Spokane
