ASOTIN COUNTY, WA – The burn season may be open, but there are still rules that must be followed.  On the first day of open burning yesterday the Asotin County Fire District responded to a fire on Highland Avenue at 7:37 pm.  It turned out to be a yard waste burn long after the burn hours were closed.  Firefighters headed to the same address again after midnight because it was still smoldering.
