Fire district 12 was asked to assist in the Northport fireworks show with our marine fire boat and crew this year. We had a crew of 6 including an EMT. Happy to report no injuries and only one spot fire that was put out relatively easy. What a show!! Thank you District 11 for the invite and thank you to all district 12 volunteers who helped tonight!

Burn Bans begin:

Starting Friday, May 29, DNR is imposing a partial burn ban. Non-permitted debris burns will no longer be allowed. If you have a permit to burn, those are still allowed following the permit guidelines. Over the Memorial Day weekend, there were over 20+ wildland fires and all were determined to be human caused.

By Stevens County ordinance, the county follows the DNR bans and timing.

Backyard campfires are also still allowed. Backyard campfires must consist ONLY of seasoned firewood and no yard debris.

For more information on burn bans, see the DNR website (all of Fire District 1 is in the "Foothills" Zone. https://dnr.wa.gov/wildfire-resources/outdoor-burning/burn-restrictions
