Leaders from emergency response agencies throughout Lewis County gathered Friday for the first official step in efforts to reform the county’s beleaguered 911 communications system.
Twenty-eight police, fire and EMS officials assembled at Lewis County Fire District 8 in Salkum for a meeting that was mostly informational in nature, but marked a milestone in long-running efforts to give first responders a bigger voice in 911 operations.

Photographer Steve Redick recently visited Detroit, Michigan, to take picture of Detroit incidents and rigs.
From Redick: "Made a quick trip to "the D" this week and we managed to see a few jobs this time. I am enclosing a few images of some new rigs and some small jobs.
"A box alarm at 16th and MLK..within 2 miles of our "quarters"..arrived as the 2nd engine was stretching. A vacant dwelling was pretty much allowed to burn down, current with DFD policy when no exposures are threatened. Ladder 8 is the last remaining tiller in service and suffered mechanical damage at this alarm. Its end may be near. Tactically nothing fancy, but yielded some nice images."
All the images can be seen here along with the video compilation of the trip:
