From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sumner Grade Fire in destroyed four homes and burned more than 800 acres in the Bonney Lake-Sumner area of western Washington in September 2020. Tuesday night.[1] The fire was likely started after a power transmitter exploded during strong winds and forced the evacuation of residents. The fire was one of many across Washington state and the Western US that year driven by extreme heat, dry conditions and high winds that Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee called “unprecedented and heartbreaking.”[2]
