THIS MORNING. VERY NICE STAR
TODAY OUTSIDE VERY CALM VERY
MILD TO SAY THE LEAST AS
SPECIALLY AFTER OF WET
WEATHER SA LINGERING THROUGH
YESTERDAY NOW AS WE GO INTO
ARE THURSDAY LITTLE BIT OF
MORNING FOG DEVELOPMENT
THAT'S KIND OF INEVITABLE
WITH THIS ACT CALM WEATHER
PATTERN THAT WE'VE GOT HALF A
MILE OF VISIBILITY SPOKANE
AIRPORT ONE MILE DOWNTOWN AND
A QUARTER MILE OUT A DEER
PARK NUMBER JUST REFRESHER
WHERE NOW PROVING THREE MAO'S
OF HIS ABILITY DOWNTOWN SPOKE
TO MILES A QUARTER LANES OF
COURSE THESE NUMBERS JUST
SHOWING THAT PATCHY MORNING
FOG THAT WE SEE DURING THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR TOUCHES ARE
PRETTY CHILLY THOUGH TO START
THE DAY OFF OVER TOWARD OKAYY
OKAYY NOGGIN COUNTY LOOKING
AT TEAMS NINETEEN O BACK
THIRTEEN WAS AM A TWENTY FIVE
DEGREES IN SPOKANE AND TWENTY
THREE IN ST MARY'S NEXT
WALTOWER SHOW THAT WILL MAKE
HER WAY UP TO THE MID
THIRTIES PORTIONS OF
THE CLUES CAN MAKE THEIR WAY
TO THE FORTIES AS WELL AS
CENTRAL WASHINGTON BUT WE
SHOULD TO THE SUN PEEK OUT
FOR A PORTION OF THE DAY
OTHER THAN THAT WILL HAVE
CLOUDS BUILT OR THE EVENING
AND OUTLOOKS THAT WERE HIDDEN
UP PRETTY PROLONGED STREAK OF
DRY WEATHER SO NOTHING TOO
MUCH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
HAD IT OR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS
OR SO I'LL TOSS THINGS OVER
AND BRUSH ON SHE'S LOOK AT
THE ROADS ARE THURSDAY
MORNING AND UNWITTINGLY
THE AND YOUR FORECAST LOOKS
LIKE SOME FOG IS IN
THE ENTIRE AREA AND THAT
COULD CREATE SOME PROBLEMS
FOR DRIVERS TAKE A LOOK AT
I NINETY NEAR THE WASHINGTON
IDAHO STATE LINE AND YOU CAN
SEE THOUGH THE HEAD LATE
TRYING TO CUT THROUGH THAT
FOG FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE
ON KEEP THEM MIND WHEN YOU
STAR YOUR DRIVE TODAY AS
I HAVE FOR NOW I'LL GO AHEAD
AND AMBER THANK YOU SEVEN O
TWO NOW. LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS
SAY COLD TEMPERATURES AND
WINTER CONDITIONS ARE WORKING
AGAINST THEM AS THEY WORK TO
GET EU DURING EMERGENCIES HAS
HERO FALLEN IS LIVE THIS
MORNING TO TELL US MORE ABOUT
WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THINGS
EASIER GOOD MORNING HERE A
YES GOOD MORNING WILL
FIREFIGHTERS SAY THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU CAN
TO AT HOME IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FIRE HYDRANT THAT IS
CLOSEST YOUR HOUSE IS
ACTUALLY EASY FOR THEM TO
ACCESS SO THIS ONE IS NOT TOO
BAD GIVEN THE SNOW THAT WE
WOKE UP YESTERDAY MORNING
BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL SEE AT
YOU CAN STILL GET TO IT
EASILY BUT FIREFIGHTERS SAY
THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE
FIRE HYDRANTS FROM THE STREET
THAT WAY THEY CAN EASILY GET
TO WATER AND PUT OF THE HOUSE
BY ARE QUICKLY. THAT'S NOT
THE ONLY STRUGGLE AND
FIREFIGHTERS DEAL WITH DURING
COLD WEATHER ALTHOUGH THEY
ARE WELL TRAINED TO WORK IN
FRIGID TEMPERATURES THAT
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S EASY
ESPECIALLY WHEN CREWS ARE
GOING IN AND OUT A BURNING
BUILDING IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
GOING INTO A FIRE WHERE YOU
EXPERIENCE ANYWHERE FROM
FIFTY TO THREE HUNDRED FOUR
HUNDRED FIVEHUNDRED DEGREES
YOU SWEAT AND YOU COME
OUTSIDE AND INSTANTLY FREEZES
GOING TO DO IT AGAIN BACK AND
FORTH BACK AND FORTH THAT'S
REALLY TOUGH ON ON HUMAN
BEINGS TO HELP WITH THAT
FIREFIGHTERS WILL OFTEN HAVE
WARMING STATIONS OR STA WILL
HELP BY PROVIDING A BUS TO
KEEP CREWS WARM AS THEY ARE
ON THE JOB BUT FIREFIGHTERS
ALSO RESPOND TO MANY MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES DURING THE WINTER
IF YOUR FRONT PORCH OR
LANDING IS NOT PROPERLY
CLEARED THIS CAN ALSO MAKE
FOR ISSUES AS FIREFIGHTERS
TRY TO GET TO SAFELY AND
TRANSPORT YOU IN ICY
CONDITIONS. ITS ALSO POR TO
KEEP IN MIND THAT DURING
WINTER WEATHER IS GOING TO
TAKE FIREFIGHTERS A LITTLE
BIT LONGER TO GET TO YOU EVEN
THOUGH THEY WANT TO GET US
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THING
THE KEY IS KEEPING YOUR PORCH
KEEPING YOUR DRIVEWAY
EVERYTHING CLEAR SO THAT THEY
CAN GET YOU EASILY AND ALSO
THAT FIRE HYDRANT SO YOU WANT
TO DIG OUT AT LEAST WITHIN A
THREE FOOT RADIUS AROUND THAT
FIRE HYDRANT SO THAT THEY ARE
ABLE TO SEE THAT AND AXIS
THAT UNLIKE HERE IN SPOKANE
CARROLL FALL AND CONTINUES
YEAR THANK YOU SO MUCH VERY
SIMPLE STAT THAT SOME PEOPLE
MIGHT OVERLOOK IN THE WINTER
MONTHS SO TO GOOD REMINDER

INSPECT EVERY INCH OF ITS
ELECTRICAL GRID AND REMOVE
TREES THAT COULD CATCH FIRE

HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON
POWER OF POWER LINES PROJECT
WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETED
BEFORE JUNE OF THIS YEAR HE
ESTIMATES THIS WOULD COST
SEVENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
COMPANY LEADER SAID CUSTOMERS
WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL
THE UTILITY COMPANY IS BEING
BLAMED FOR THE DEADLY
CAMPFIRE BECAUSE OF THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FIRE PG
AND HE IS EXPECTED TO FILE

COMPANIES TAKE BETTER CARE OF
THE PATIENTS THERE ARE A LOT
MORE WOLVES AND WASHINGTON
STATE THAN ORIGINALLY

REPORTING AN AVERAGE GROWTH
OF THIRTY PERCENT PER YEAR IN
THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATE

MEANS THE STATE CAN TAKE
LETHAL ACTION WHEN THERE IS A
CONFLICT BETWEEN WOLVES AND

LISTED UNDER THE ENDANGERED
SPECIES ACT THOUGH IN
THE REMAINING PARTS OF
THE STATE MEANING THAT NO ONE
