Massive Western wildfires strain resources in Chelan area
Wildfires in Chelan Washington and across the dry West push firefighting resources to the limit. Authorities mobilize 200 active duty troops under a 1975 defense accord, with help from National Guard Canada and inquiries to New Zealand and Australia as hundreds of fires burn from Montana to California. More than 1,500 square miles have burned nationwide in two weeks, threatening thousands of structures and forcing evacuations.
