BENTON COUNTY, Wash.-Demolition and cleanup efforts continue at the site of the still-smoldering Lineage Logistics warehouse fire that started on April 21 in Finley.

Lineage Logistics released a statement on the continued cleanup efforts and launched a resource page for the Finley community on June 7.

According to Lineage, company representatives met with local fire departments, the Benton Franklin Health Department, County Commissioners, the Clean Air Agency and the Departments of Ecology and Health to discuss its action plan on June 6.

Through its new resource page Lineage hopes to provide answers for the Finley community and offer links to resources.

Statement from Lineage Logistics on fire and ongoing cleanup efforts:

Lineage’s top priority continues to be the health and safety of our employees, partners, and the communities in which we live and operate. We recognize the profound impact the fire at our Kennewick facility has had on the community and everyone who lives here. Many of our Lineage team members are Finley and Kennewick residents themselves, and both our local and national leadership are focused on marshaling resources to accelerate fire recovery efforts. Accordingly, we are collaborating closely with local officials and Signal Restoration Services to expedite efforts for extinguishing the fire as we aggressively focus on the removal of debris that will give firefighters better access to our facility to put out the fire and abate any unsafe conditions.
