3 firefighters killed, 4 hurt battling one of Washington state's many wildfires | 19 Aug 2015 | Three firefighters died and four others were injured while battling a wildfire in northern Washington state, Gov. Jay Inslee said Wednesday evening. The firefighters were confronting a blaze in Okanogan County near the town of Twisp, about 150 miles northeast of Seattle. Inslee also requested a federal declaration of emergency for the state, saying 11 counties are battling more than 40 fires in all. Hours earlier, the approaching fire led officials to tell residents to evacuate the towns of Twisp and Winthrop, whose combined population is about 1,300, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest figures.
