(thenewstribune.com) — A major wildfire west of Tonasket, the Sinlahekin Fire, is used as a key example in a broader look at how Washington is balancing historic fire lookouts with new AI-assisted cameras. The piece follows volunteers near Mount Rainier, explores how human spotters work, and raises questions about whether technology alone can reliably detect lightning-sparked fires like the one near Tonasket.
