There is no active fire threatening Pend Oreille County, but SPOFR units did respond to assist our neighbors just South. We have one paramedic engine company backfilling a Spokane District 4 station, one three person brush engine assigned to the Fairview Fire in the Mead area, and Chief 301 assigned as a task force leader on the same fire. We remain fully staffed in District.
Notably, Chief 301 and Brush 34 were enroute to the Old Trails Fire when they were amoung the first to notice, report, and divert to the Fairview Fire. Chief 301 led the initial structure protection group in the Overview Cir area. Our prayers are with all who have lost property in these devastating and unprecedented fires.
