===============================
one final fire report - Modrite Fire - in Ferry County WA - 57,000 acres burnt - 74 homes destroyed - 14 other blds destroyed - 170 homes damaged - 20 other blds damaged - no deaths - 18 injuries
note - "destroyed" = more than 50% damaged
note - injury = someone transported to a hospital (maybe)
also - Sinlahekin Fire - in Yakima County WA - 152.000 acres - 33 homes destroyed (per the chart - but the map shows zero destroyed)
its possible that both the Sinlahekin Fire and the Modrite Fire were on Indian Reservations primarily
