BURN BAN UPDATE! The Kitsap County Fire Marshal is implementing a Stage 2 burn ban beginning Wednesday, July 12.

Stage II Burn Ban In Effect 7/12/2023
Fire Danger VERY HIGH: When the fire danger is "very high," fires can start easily from most causes, and small fuels, such as grasses and needles, will ignite readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape. Fires can become serious and difficult to control unless they are put out while they are still small.

Wildfire Risk Reduction & Mitigation
Many of our residents live in heavily forested areas of Bainbridge Island. Dry summer weather and lack of rainfall bring danger from wildfire to those homes that are in close proximity to trees, brush, or hillsides. Evaluate the risk of losing your home to wildfire before it strikes, and take appropriate steps to protect your home and family. Learn more

What does EXTREME danger mean?
EXTREME: When the fire danger is "extreme", fires of all types start quickly and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious and can spread very quickly with intense burning. Small fires become big fires much faster than at the "very high" level. Spot fires are probable, with long-distance spotting likely. These fires are very difficult to fight and may become very dangerous and often last for several days.
