We begin tonight with a meeting where Clarkston, Lewiston, Asotin and city and county officials met to discuss the future of the Clarkston Fire Department.
The meeting was called to discuss 13 options for the funding of the Clarkston Fire Department. Of all 13 options, four were chosen as the most viable.
The first option is keeping the staff at CFD as it is, with four firefighters on staff, but two shifts containing only three on staff. The second option is having shifts with only three people for fire and EMS services for all shifts. The third option would be to contract with Lewiston Fire Department for both fire and EMS services. The fourth option is to annex Asotin County Fire District One, so they would take over all emergency service for the city of Clarkston.
