Freed horses that escaped the brush fire on Christensen Road off of U.S. Highway 2 run unbridled until they can be corralled on Monday, Sept. 7, 2020, in Airway Heights, Wash. Relatives of a homeowner said that their family member's house and barn burned down, which they said resulted in the deaths of five dogs and numerous other small pets, plus one goat, although they were able to free all of the horses in time. A Red Flag Warning was issued earlier in the day, and high winds coupled with the &quot;Very High&quot; designation for fire risk meant the region suffered many large fires.
