What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded Walla Walla County funds from its fire grant program. The county received just under $1 million from FEMA. FEMA also provided $14 million to fire protection agencies across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. Much of the Walla Walla funding will be used to help assess and repair damage to the Mill Creek Watershed.
