The entire town of Pateros in northwestern Washington along the Columbia River, population just under 700, was evacuated this week as the Carlton Complex fire roared through. The latest reports indicate that at least 100 homes have been destroyed by the fire, and by mid-day Friday pictures of the devastation started to appear on social media.

People in Pateros still need help. Life is far from back to normal. http://wildninjablog.com/2014/11/25/pateros-needs-your-help/
The Wenatchee World has a list of ways to help the people and animal survivors of these fires, http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2014/jul/18/how-to-assist-fire-victims/.
