Gray Fire Victims Just Found Out They May Be Entitled to Receive A Large Cash Compensation

Faulty Outdoor Light Sparks Gray Fire, Lawsuits Filed Against Inland Power

The fire started on August 18, at about 12:27 pm, on the west side of Medical Lake, about 15 miles west of Spokane, and prompted the evacuation of more than 5,000 residents from the Medical Lake and Four Lakes communities. [1]

It quickly spun out of control.

As of September 1, 2023, the fire had burned 10,085 acres (4,081 ha) and was finally 100% contained. The fire claimed the lives of two people, injured several others, displaced thousands of residents, and destroyed over 200 homes and businesses. [2]

What caused the Gray Fire?

The official cause of the fire is still being investigated.

A lawsuit filed in Spokane County Superior Court says Inland Power and Light Company’s electrical equipment contacted or caused sparks to surrounding vegetation that started the Gray fire on Aug. 18. [3]

There are claims that Inland Power failed to inspect and remove nearby vegetation and negligently designed and constructed their power lines so that they would reenergize too soon after being deenergized, which in turn resulted in a dangerous outcome when faced with unfavorable weather conditions. [4]

The time to act is now.

Two lawsuits have been filed against Inland Power, over failure to take the precautionary measures that could have prevented the devastation caused by the wildfire. [5]

“Inland Power was very aware as a utility company that Washington is deemed a high wildfire risk area, and they should have used this knowledge to properly protect their clients and the residents of Spokane County,”

Gerald Singleton, managing partner of Singleton Schreiber, said in a statement. [6]

“Because of Inland Power & Light's negligence, a life was lost, other lives were completely upended, and this community will never be the same.”

He added. [7]

Inland Power has not yet commented on the lawsuits. The company faces accusations of neglecting their power lines while increasing their profits, and if evidence finds them guilty, they have to pay.
