Frustration mounts as wildfire victims in Medical Lake and Elk receive meager FEMA aid [Video]

Recovery efforts are underway as homes in Medical Lake and Elk begin to rebuild after Spokane County’s devastating last wildfire season, and while federal assistance is available to those impacted, some residents haven’t received much.

Federal officials are in Spokane County helping wildfire victims apply for assistance. More than $2 million has already been approved, and Elk resident Justin Knutsen is among the first to receive some of it. When his request for assistance was finally received, Knutsen said he only received $3,000, which he said is not enough to replace everything he lost.
