Be Prepared For Wildfire

Wasco County emergency management officials reminded residents to be prepared for wildfire at a community briefing Wednesday evening.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue Chief Bob Palmer says we are about five weeks ahead of normal in regard to fire season, with several small fires in the region over the course of the last month.  Palmer emphasized the need for homeowners in the urban-wildland interface to have good defensible space.  Wasco County Emergency Manager Kristy Beachamp is reminding residents to sign up for the county’s Citizen Alert system, which distributes emergency notices to subscribers.  Landline phones with listed numbers are automatically registered, but to sign up cell phones go to the Wasco County website.
