mr. newhouse, for five minutes. mr. speaker, for the second year in a row my home state of washington, my fourth congressional district, are facing the worst wildfires in the state's recorded history. one year ago the carlton complex fire broke out. at the time it was the most destructive in our state's history, burning over 250,000 acres, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses, and devastating the environment. now the people of washington are once again enduring another catastrophic wildfire season. far surpassing the scale of the devastation experienced last year. to put it in perspective, the amount of land burning in my home state is equivalent to the state of rhode island. many of these fires continue to burn, even as federal, state, and local agencies and officials work tirelessly to contain them. communities across my state are mourning the tragic loss of three firefighters who fell in the line of duty on august 19 while battling the fire. we remember and mourn the loss of these brave young men. andrew, rich
