They say "A picture is worth 1000 words" and this satellite image is no exception. A very dry airmass off the Pacific coast will bring very dry and windy conditions to the Inland Northwest tomorrow. Any new or existing fires will have the potential to spread rapidly. #wawx #idwx

When Susan Carlson started feeling dizzy and lightheaded in her home, she did the right thing; she got herself and her family safely outside and called 911. She had no idea the difference a visit from @SpokaneValleyFD just a couple weeks before made. #SVFD youtu.be/OL7Ye35JpLQ

Say it ain't SNOW!
Looks like winter may be here quicker than expected.
Make sure you're ready for the potential of winter driving this week. Slow down, make sure your headlights are on and as always, give emergency vehicles plenty of space!

Snow. Powder. Flurries. Frozen fluff.
Whatever you call it, it's looking increasingly likely that we'll see it in the lowlands TOMORROW for the first time this season. Roads may be slick at times and tree branches (especially those with leaves still on them) may be damaged.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Did you know an average of 10,600 house fires are started across the country each year by grills?
We know many families in the Inland Northwest grill year-round and we want to make sure everyone is doing it safely! @spokanevalleyfd
