Power restored after wildfire risk conditions ease

SPOKANE, Wash. — July 25, 2026: Power has been restored to customers in the Kamiah and Asotin areas after high-fire-risk conditions improved.

Customers whose power has not been restored should call Avista at (800) 227-9187.

Weather conditions can change quickly, and Public Safety Power Shutoffs could affect customers’ service in the future. Avista will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.

“We’re grateful to our customers in the Kamiah and Asotin areas for their patience and preparedness throughout this event,” said Heather Rosentrater, president and CEO of Avista. “We know being without power is disruptive. Public Safety Power Shutoffs are a last resort measure to preserve public safety. While we’re thankful conditions improved and power has been restored, our focus remains on helping protect our customers, first responders and communities when wildfire risk becomes extreme.”
