In the last two years, there's been no significant change with what's been provided to Asotin County Fire District Number One by the Lewiston Fire Department. However, a little bit has changed with the structure of where the authority and responsibility lie.
"Instead of extending the six year agreement, we have had to change that agreement a little bit," said Lewiston Fire Chief Garry DeJong. "The services are staying exactly the same. We have an ambulance that we staff 24/7, 365 days of the year."
Asotin reached out to Lewiston a number of years ago asking for help to provide ambulance service for the Clarkston Heights area. The agreement calls for an annual payment of $390,000. The contract was approved on Monday by the Lewiston City Council.
