North Sound homeowners get help identifying wildfire danger risk to homes
Warmer and dryer temperatures push all of western Washington farther towards wildfire danger.
WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. - Warmer and dryer temperatures push all of western Washington farther towards wildfire danger. That’s why a North Sound conservation district offers a program that helps homeowners learn how to reduce the risk of losing property to wildfire.
The Whatcom Conservation District paired with Washington Department of Natural Resources firefighters to assess a community south of Bellingham on Monday. Firefighters noted that structures can sometimes face threats homeowners might not immediately recognize as dangerous.
