Part of Fire threatens Spokane Valley community, requiring state intervention.

How will the wildfires in Spokane Valley affect the American Red Cross?

The American Red Cross receives financial support from local Spokane businesses. The Upriver Drive Fire, which destroyed parts of Camp Sekani, prompted local Spokane businesses to organize a community fundraiser. Solnix, an outdoor retailer, replaced its annual adventure festival with the fundraiser, directing all proceeds to the Spokane chapter of the American Red Cross. This swift community response reflects the local effort to aid those affected by the wildfires and their loss of homes and possessions.
