Although firefighting efforts continue, all Evacuation Levels have been lifted.     

However, firefighters, utility crews, damage assessment operations, and other additional recovery work continue in these areas.  Please be mindful of this important work, keep roadways clear to allow larger trucks and equipment to get through, and use caution when traveling in these areas.

We again remind everyone that all of Spokane County remains at high risk for fire starts.  Please be careful and avoid any activity that could cause a spark or start a new fire.
