For firefighters at the Pasco Fire Department it isn't so much about the size of the "stick," but what they can do with it.
Although the 109-foot ladder attached to Pasco's new 41-foot fire truck is now the longest in the Tri-Cities, it's the vehicle's user-friendly design that has firefighters most eager to use it.
Wednesday, the department unveiled the 38-ton truck at Fire Station 2 next to the Tri-Cities Airport. The truck cost the city just under $737,000 and it has about $80,000 in modifications that fire crews hope will make them more efficient.
A 42-year-old Olympia man accused of stealing more than 1,000 gallons of gasoline from pumps and U-Haul trucks in Thurston County was arrested Wednesday morning.
A Whatcom County man died in an apparent electrical fire that consumed his home late Saturday night, Feb. 16, in a rural area southwest of Lynden.
Sheriff Bill Elfo confirmed that a 72-year-old man died in the fire at 1395 Willeys Lake Road, near the intersection of Birch Bay-Lynden Road and North Enterprise Road.
Elfo said he did not know the man's name, but that his relatives had been notified. Cause of the fire remained under investigation by the Whatcom Country Fire Marshal's Office, but Elfo said it appeared to be electrical in nature and did not seem suspicious.
