Tribe restricts access to reservation because of fire danger

NESPELEM – All access to the Colville Indian Reservation is being restricted to certain roads because of very high fire danger, limited fire suppression resources in the region and forecasts of continued dry weather.

By resolution, the Colville Business Council has restricted all access, including public and industrial activities, to state and county highways, and those county and Bureau of Indian Affairs system roads with improved surfaces.
