Spokane firefighter pioneers alert system to help autistic children

A Spokane firefighter is pioneering a ground breaking alert system to help children with autism and other disorders. The Isaac Alert system will let firefighters know when they are heading to a call whether there's a child with autism and behaviors to watch for. The Isaac Foundation, a local organization that works with the autism community, and Spokane Fire Lieutenant John Goodman, saw a growing need for an alert system like this one, and first responders want to make sure every child they help feels safe.

Sheriff: Firefighters did all they could to save themselves in Twisp River Fire

The four U.S. Forest Service firefighters who were overtaken by the Twisp River Fire Aug. 19 did all they could but couldn’t have saved themselves under the prevailing conditions. That’s the opinion of Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers, whose office did its own investigation. The incident ended in the deaths of three of the firefighters and serious burns to the fourth, who remains hospitalized.
