Update based on the screenshot below. The town of Medical Lake is outside the evacuation map, and J D Berry's residence and shop are approximate where the "Lake" in Medical Lake is on the map. Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to verify the accuracy of the map, until word gets out.
They did get about a 1/4" of rain from Hilary as the storm moved NE from CA.

I have not read anywhere of how this particular fire was started. I am suspiscious of the cause of a number of deadly fires and some of the responces concerning the smoke and the damage. Hotels will be replacing homes and private businesses in Hawaii.

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=medical+lake+WA%2C+wildfire. I watched this news conference from Spokane County. It is fairly long. The town is quite small, but the zip code is large. According to the town, as of 2017 there were 1746 family residences. Based on my last visit with J D Berry, the number of residences in town was probably under 25%. The 185 structures destroyed by fire may include those in the 9,500 acres. Winds from the north were pushing the fire towards the east. The Fire was 10% contained. Residents and non-residents are not allowed to enter the area. I haven't seen any aerial photos of the town.
