Stage 2 Complete Burn Ban Now in Effect Countywide

A Stage 2 Complete Burn Ban has been implemented countywide in Snoqualmie, effective immediately, as part of a coordinated effort with the King County Fire Chiefs Association and the Association of King County Fire Marshals. This critical measure aims to ensure public safety amidst heightened fire risks due to dry weather conditions. Under this ban, all outdoor burning activities are prohibited, including recreational campfires and yard waste disposal, to prevent potential fire hazards. Local authorities emphasize the importance of compliance, urging residents to recognize the seriousness of the situation to help mitigate fire-related incidents. The ban not only helps protect homes and natural resources but also aligns with broader efforts to manage fire risks in the region.

Regular updates will be provided by local officials as they monitor the situation and evaluate the need for continued restrictions. Residents are reminded to stay informed and report any violations of the ban to ensure community safety. This proactive approach underscores the importance of fire prevention measures in safeguarding the Snoqualmie community.
