High Fire Danger - Red Flag Warning Issued affecting parts of Snohomish County

Snohomish, WALocal News

Snohomish County faces heightened fire danger as the National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for July 16, 2025, from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m. The warning, prompted by hot, dry, and unstable weather conditions, prohibits all fires, including recreational ones.

This escalation follows a countywide burn ban that has been in effect since July 1, 2025, suspending all outdoor burn permits until further notice. The county's Outdoor Burning Information Hotline at 425-388-3508 provides residents with timely updates on fire regulations. Officials emphasize that the burn ban will remain in place even after the Red Flag Warning has passed, highlighting the ongoing risk. The Snohomish County Department of Planning and Development Services oversees these regulations, ensuring safety amid extreme weather conditions. Historically, such bans are crucial in preventing wildfires during peak fire seasons.

The community is urged to stay informed and comply with the restrictions to mitigate fire hazards.
