Dangerous Fire Conditions Remain

Our area is still facing dangerous fire conditions. Please help prevent brush fires from happening here in Bothell by following the latest burn ban guidelines, and by taking immediate steps to prevent sparks like clearing your home of dried brush and debris, throwing smoking materials away in the proper receptacles and by checking your car for low tire pressure or hanging metal objects, like chains, before heading out on the road.
