Lots Of Lightning, But No Major Fires

There was plenty of lightning in the eastern portion of the Mid-Columbia on Tuesday evening, particularly over Klickitat County, but luckily there were no major fires as a result.  Klickitat County Emergency Management Director Jeff King says they had an enormous surge of 9-1-1 calls and fire response from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Many of the storm cells were accompanied by large amounts of rain.  King noted emergency responders throughout the County continue today to look for lightning strike fires that could pop up.  King added crews that were on the Juniper Fire that occurred over the weekend in the Bickleton area were demobilized Tuesday.
