SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Newly obtained audio files are giving Spokane County residents a glimpse into what happened after officials learned of two large and, soon to be, destructive wildfires.
KREM 2 obtained audio files of police scanner traffic from the day the Gray Fire in Medical Lake and the Oregon Road Fire near Elk sparked. The two destructive wildfires burning in Spokane County have destroyed hundreds of structures, burned tens of thousands of acres and claimed the lives of two people.
Our team spent all day Tuesday combing through the audio to get an idea of what first responders were dealing with in those initial hours.
