#TRICITIES You may have seen a plume of smoke last night AND this morning from the same spot! Last night, fire started in an RV in #Pasco and spread to a workshop. It was put out, but started up again this morning. @PascoWAFire crews are finishing up at the scene now. @KAPPKVEW

If you see smoke NORTH of #Richland, WA—it’s a controlled burn, and a training exercise for firefighters in the local academies.

If you know Howard Amon park, like me, you’re probably thinking two things looking at these pictures: Oh, my goodness: adorable baby goslings. Oh, my goodness: the river is VERY high. That’s what we’re talking about live right now @KAPPKVEW.

@PascoWAFire is saying that if you’re EAST of OREGON AVENUE, to stay inside. There are many fumes releasing, and Ben Shearer is recommending that for safety, you stay inside.

There are high tensions between the opposing sides. No large disruptions so far, but many snaps during public comment.
