Good morning, Spokane Valley.

Shadle Park Hope Squad was named best in Eastern Washington during an award ceremony that praised its strong local service, according to KXLY+.

The honor underscores the group’s ongoing efforts to support our community.

Authorities issued level 3 evacuations near Camp Sekani Park (covering the 6400 block of Upriver Drive) and level 2 evacuations in adjacent areas after a wildfire burned about 50 acres north of the Spokane River yesterday, and Avista shut off power to roughly 1,800 customers in the Indian Trail area due to growing fire risk.

A wildfire near Medical Lake prompted evacuations and a wind advisory + red flag warning that were in effect until 11 PM PDT yesterday.

In Spokane Valley, residents were advised to secure outdoor items as gusty winds may have caused falling tree limbs, hazardous travel conditions, and a few power outages.

On Tuesday afternoon, Avista Utilities de-energized three transmission lines in the Beacon Hill/Upriver Drive area at the fire incident commander’s request to protect against a fast-moving wildfire, a common safety measure unconnected with the Indian Trail power shutdown + red flag warning.

Spokane City Council did not vote on a data center moratorium last night + Avista paused talks with a customer, so council members will study the legal language further and plan to vote in the coming weeks.

Gonzaga will travel to Omaha on Dec.

12 to face Creighton in the second game of their two-year home-and-home series at CHI Health Center — a key matchup in Gonzaga’s evolving nonconference schedule.
