Jim Hill Fire along Newport Highway expected to burn for days
SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash.- Spokane firefighters worked throughout Saturday night to keep the Jim Hill fire within the containment lines created by initial attack efforts.
1 dead, thousands stranded in S. California storm
Thunderstorms that swept across Southern California on Sunday led to the death of one person and caused mountain mudslides that stranded more than 2,000 others, authorities said.
Thunderstorms wreaked havoc in portions of the mountains and desert of San Bernardino County on Sunday, killing one person, clogging key access roads with rocks and mud, submerging cars and prompting “shelter in place” orders for at least 3,000 people.
One person was killed in the Bear Creek community, near Mt. Baldy, when debris swept a car off a roadway and into a swollen creek, authorities said.
Separately, several people rescued from fast-flowing water were treated for hypothermia, officials said.
One man in the Forest Falls mountain community was forced to escape a debris flow by climbing a tree. Most vehicles that were submerged in streams or floods were searched and found empty, authorities said.

(Seattle)—Social media has become the tool of choice for sharing life events, from mundane things like family dinners to major, life-changing, emergencies
Seattle-area law enforcement agencies are asking you to “Tweet Smart” during emergencies, to help public safety responders keep you safe.
“Please don’t tweet about the movements of responding police officers, or post pictures,” said Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. “Sooner or later we’ll have an emergency where the suspect is watching social media. That could allow an offender to escape, or possibly even cost an officer their life.”
The agencies’ concern began to grow after watching events in Moncton, New Brunswick and Portland, OR.
“We watched these incidents as they unfolded on social media. In both cases, there was real-time information posted by individuals that could have compromised officer safety,” said Chief Bret Farrar of the Lakewood Police Department.
Along with not posting information about police movements, posting pictures can also put officers at risk.
“If it’s safe to do so, go ahead and take pictures of our deputies in action,” said Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer. “We’re very proud of the work they do. We’d simply ask that you wait to post those pictures until the emergency is over.”
In fact, pictures posted after the emergency can help investigators determine what happened as the event unfolded.

Osprey nests come in handy near the airport. They scare away the seagulls which have brought down in other areas, so the US Dept of Agriculture builds nests in insecure areas...
