Spokane sits where eastern Washington’s dry grass and shrub-steppe meet ponderosa pine forest. Hot, windy late-summer days drive fast range fires into the wildland-urban interface around the city, and smoke from regional fires routinely settles into the area.
The August 2023 Gray and Oregon Road fires near Spokane destroyed hundreds of homes and killed two people, racing through grass and timber under high winds — among the most destructive in the region’s recent history.

Is this an official Spokane emergency map?
No. FireRisk is an awareness tool built on official NIFC and NWS data — it complements but never replaces Spokane’s official alerts, local fire authorities, and 911.
Awareness only — built on official NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) data, which can lag real conditions. For Spokane evacuation orders follow Spokane Fire Department, Watch Duty, and call 911 in an emergency.
