The Spokane Interfaith Council has launched a GoFundMe Campaign to help those impacted by a fast-moving fire causing evacuations on the Spokane Indian Reservation.

The 1,600-acre Hart Road fire burned down multiple structures and was threatening 60 homes as of Sunday evening. The fire jumped the Spokane River in multiple places onto the Spokane Indian Reservation, forcing Wellpinit residents to evacuate their homes.

“Let us help our Native American neighbors during their time of need,” the GoFundMe Campaign reads. “The SIFC plans on donating 100 percent of the proceeds to the residents of the Spokane Indian Reservation.”
