Posted/updated on: September 9, 2011 at 2:21 am
LONGVIEW — The Longview Police Department is renewing and clarifying an earlier advisory. Police encourage residents to refrain from calling 9-1-1 about general smoke in the air unless the resident sees a column of smoke or sees the fire is the source of the smoke. Law officers say they have been overwhelmed with 9-1-1 calls since the wildfires began.
