In Idaho, one-third of the town of Wallace was burned to the ground,[17] with an estimated $1 million in damage (equivalent to $26,900,000 in 2018).[18] Passenger trains evacuated thousands of Wallace residents to Spokane and Missoula.[16][17] Another train with 1,000 people from Avery took refuge in a tunnel after racing across a burning trestle.[18][22] Other towns with severe damage included Burke, Kellogg, Murray, and Osburn, all in Idaho.[20] The towns of Avery,[6] Saltese (MT), as well as a major part of Wallace, were saved by backfires.
