The Chelan Wildfire in Washington is posing a massive risk to around 634 homes, with a total reconstruction cost of over $198m, says data from CoreLogic. The Chelan fire has been burning since August 14th, and though 47% is now contained, expected weather conditions of gusty, erratic winds in the next few days could make the fire worse. As we highlighted this week, Washington wildfires this year are officially the largest in state history with President Jeffery declaring a state of emergency in the area.
