Brush fires burning along EB I-90 between Medical Lake, Geiger exits, level 2 evacuations canceled

It is unclear how the fires started or how big they are.

A series of brush fires are burning along eastbound I-90 between the Medical Lake an Geiger exits.

For a short time the area was under level two evacuations and Snowdon elementary was sheltering in place.

It is unclear how the fires started or how big they are.

Atlee Urquhart said, "The fact that it got so close to my childhood home like I never thought that it would really happen to us,"

Alissa Jillson just moved back to the area with her boyfriend Urquhart this summer, "Having just moved here from Texas and never experiencing that it was like well welcome to Spokane,"

I-90 has not been shut down due to the fire. No flights at the Spokane International Airport have been impacted.
