Idaho Governor Brad Little has announced plans to visit Lapwai in Latah County on August 15th. The Governor’s schedule includes flying in a black hawk helicopter over the Gwen and Texas fires, according to a press release put out by the Idaho Department of Lands. This will give Governor Little a firsthand view of the fire damage and will "include areas of both success and loss," the press release reads.
Following the flyover the Governor will be briefed in Lapwai. The briefing will offer a chance to recognize the collective efforts of local farmers, state, communities, tribal agencies, and others in battling the fires, and to discuss the ongoing recovery efforts, needs and resources.
"The Governor’s visit underscores the importance of continued support for these communities as the process of rebuilding and healing from this historic combination of fire events continues," reads the press release. Members of the community are welcome to attend the briefing.
