~ The Spokane Fire Department (SFD) has been awarded $1,503,000 in grant funding from the USDA/Department of Agriculture, Community Wildfire Defense Grant Fund. Nick Jeffries, Wildland Resource Planner for the SFD, stated that Spokane was one of thirteen awards granted in the State.
The funds will be utilized for fuels reduction treatments on high priority city owned properties scattered throughout the city in 5-to-500-acre parcels. Additionally, fuel reduction on any adjacent private ownership and or municipal owned properties will be a priority. This is expected to result in approximately 1000 acres being thinned, pruned and disposed of over the next five years.
