A Community Facing a Historic Disaster
The wildfires impacting District 5080 in Spokane County, Stevens County, and British Columbia are the most devastating disasters in our District’s history.
More than 67,000 residents have been displaced, and over one thousand homes and structures have been lost. Although many community members have lost everything, we are deeply grateful that no fatalities have been reported at this time. The extraordinary dedication of firefighters, first responders, emergency personnel, and
Community volunteers who continue to protect lives and property is heroic.
