Stage 2 Complete Burn Ban Now in Effect Countywide
A Stage 2 Complete Burn Ban has been enacted countywide, including Snoqualmie, effective immediately, to address heightened fire risks in the region. This decision was made in coordination with the King County Fire Chiefs Association and the Association of King County Fire Marshals, highlighting the urgency of the situation. The ban prohibits various outdoor burning activities, including campfires and debris burning, to prevent potential wildfires during dry weather. Residents are encouraged to comply with these restrictions to protect their homes and communities. The burn ban reflects a growing concern over fire safety amid ongoing drought conditions that have elevated fire danger levels.
Local authorities emphasize the importance of vigilance and community cooperation in adhering to the ban. The implementation of the Stage 2 ban is a significant step toward fire prevention and public safety. As conditions evolve, officials will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates regarding the ban.
