DNR: Fire season two weeks ahead of schedule in Eastern Washington

Fire season is here and it’s coming two weeks earlier than expected, according to WA Department of Natural Resources. Just Tuesday, there were two brush fires within hours of one another. And it’s not something Gary West expects to see this time of year, but it’s not all that surprising to him. “You can see that undergrowth and the grasses are very lush and they're starting to dry out very quickly,” he says.

Construction Begins on Augusta (ME) New Fire Station

Construction work began last week at the site of what will be Augusta's first new fire station since Lyndon B. Johnson was president. An official groundbreaking ceremony for the roughly $4 million station is scheduled for Thursday in north Augusta.
The last time Augusta had a new fire station, the Augusta Fire Department responded to 500 fire calls a year. The department now responds to 1,300 fire calls in addition to 4,500 calls requesting emergency medical service.

Chief Roger Audette says the new station will provide more room for firefighters, trucks, ambulances and other equipment.

Construction is expected to be completed by Jan. 31, 2017. It will not be finished by the time Augusta’s new multipurpose ladder firetruck is expected to arrive in November.
