First responders vehicle parade is Wednesday

The Emergency Operations Center, in coordination with Kootenai County law enforcement, Fire, EMS and Emergency Management Services, will participate in a “First Responder Parade of Emergency Vehicles” in appreciation for healthcare professionals at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Traffic will be temporarily stopped at the U.S. 95 and Ironwood intersection as the vehicles proceed from the former Shopko parking lot, across the intersection and around the south, east and north side of the hospital. The vehicles will then park and display their lights as a show of support.

Spokane Sheriff Air-1 and LifeFlight will also participate with a fly-by during the event.
