WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — Several wildfires lit up Washington state on Tuesday, destroying at least one home and threatening dozens of others. In eastern Washington, a brush fire burned at least one property and forced a handful of homes in a rural neighborhood to evacuate, said Patty Courson, a spokeswoman with the Walla Walla County Emergency Management. The blaze briefly forced residents to flee about 30 homes Monday. Winds and hot, dry conditions could spread the flames and threaten more buildings, fire officials said. Low snowpack levels, record warm temperatures and very dry conditions have helped fuel blazes throughout drought-stricken Washington state.
