If you encounter a large fire (larger than
4'x4'x3'), please contact OLYMPIC AIR POLLUTION CONTROL AUTHORITY at
360-586-1044 and report the
situation. They will either respond immediately or issue a citation
against the alleged offending party.
In the continuing intent of making members and properties safer, we have
applied to become a Firewise.org approved community with the Department of
Natural Resources. This is an ongoing program and requires the involvement
of all members to do their part in reducing local fire risk by eliminating
fire fuel on their property (e.g. brush, fallen limbs, etc.) and around
their homes. Watch for periodic updates. Some of the more useful
suggestions are: Clean and screen the chimney and stove pipe.
Remove overhanging tree limbs, moss and needles from the roof and gutters.
Maintain a survivable space around the house. A large green lawn is
ideal. Remove highly-flammable plants from around the house, especially on
the side most exposed to prevailing winds and on the downhill slope.
Keep storage areas clean and tidy. Never allow rags or newspapers to
accumulate. Store flammable liquids in approved containers.
Stack firewood away from the house. |
