The Yakama Nation of Washington estimates it will cost at least $4 million to rebuild a small community where at least homes were destroyed in a fire on Saturday.

Chairman Harry Smiskin said it could take months to rebuild. "A beautiful White Swan is in order," he said at a press conference, The Yakima Herald-Republic reported.

The fire reportedly started inside a chimney at a home in White Swan.
