Yesterday’s 1,000-acre fire west of Clarkston left some county residents scratching their heads. The State Fire Marshal’s Office released their State Mobilization information when it became official that they would send help. In the public release, it mentioned Evacuation Levels 1 and 2 were in effect. That information was wrong. Asotin County Emergency Management Director Nick Bacon says if an evacuation is necessary, you can be sure a local text will be coming.

To be able to get that notification, you can scan a QR code or text a number. We have listed all that information in the image below.
