I thought, but was not sure that there was a small town in Washington State that was almost completely destroyed by a wildfire in early September. Thanks to a friend from Washington who told me that the town of Malden which I believe is in Whitman County, Washington. Most of the homes were destroyed. See these two video reports from early September. After you watch these two short videos, please read this update (dated October 9th) from NPR, 'Everything is gone': rural Washington struggles after 'blowtorch' of a wildfires.
