Wildfires in Central Washington Now Largest in State HIstory 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Washington state, officials say the wildfires burning
across more than a quarter of a million acres in central Washington are
now the largest in the state's history. More than 1,000 firefighters and
700 National Guardsmen are battling the blazes. Meanwhile, in eastern
Washington, fires have forced the school district on the Spokane Indian
Reservation to postpone the beginning of school due to poor air quality
and firefighting on nearby roads.
