OKANOGAN — The Okanogan Complex of wildfires, the largest in state history, has so far consumed at least 40 homes and 40 outbuildings.
That’s according to Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers on Wednesday.
Rogers says county officials are still tallying up the structure losses from a fire that has consumed nearly 438 square miles and last week killed three firefighters.
The complex was about 17 percent contained as of Wednesday morning.
Rogers says the weather forecast for highs in the 70s and possible rain in coming days is good news for firefighters.
