Wildfires continued to ravage three western states Sunday, with scores of homes and cabins lost, and many more menaced by flames, according to CNN.
The Lawyer Complex Fire near Kamiah, in northwest Idaho, has destroyed an estimated 50 homes and 75 outbuildings, according to the state's Department of Lands.
So far, it is 15% contained, with more than 770 officials working to bring the flames under control. It includes the Old Greer, Kamiah Gulch, Lawyer 6 and Adams Grade fires, across a combined total of around 20,759 acres.
There have been no reports of death or injury as a result of the fire, authorities said.
However, Cheryl Lee Wissler, 70, of Adams Grade, died Friday when she fell and suffered a head wound while preparing for possible evacuation, said the sheriff's department.
Mandatory evacuations remain in place around Kamiah.
