Pathfinders Restore Hope in Malden

Oct 05, 2021

Pathfinders raised a new flag over Malden on the anniversary of the Pine Creek fire.

When Malden was hit by the Pine Creek fire in September 2020, only 20 of the 120 structures in the town were standing when the smoke cleared. One year after the devastating event, Malden is rebuilding and recuperating with the assistance of Pathfinders from across Upper Columbia Conference.


The American flag stood tall throughout the fire in Malden and has served as a beacon of hope to town members. During the anniversary event for the fire, Pathfinders were present to take down the flag. The Pathfinders also donated a display case for the flag, which is currently on display in the temporary town hall. The flag will be on display in the town’s firehouse upon completion.


Several media outlets covered the event, including Thurston Talk. The Pathfinders were also shown raising a new flag on the cover of The Spokesman-Review on September 7 and September 9, 2021. Footage of the flag raising can be watched at khq.com.
