Gov. Inslee declares state of emergency for wildfires, announces limited burn ban KOMO News Staff © Provided by KOMO-TV Seattle
In response to growing risk of wildfires Governor Jay Inslee declared a statewide state of emergency Tuesday and introduced a ban on most outdoor and agriculture burning through Sept. 30, 2021. Washington is facing a historic drought and we have already experienced record-breaking heat, Inslee said. We must be vigilant in our efforts to prevent wildfires, and the loss of life and destruction of land and property that comes with them. We don’t want a repeat of recent years with dangerous wildfires across the state that have destroyed towns, killed livestock and resulted in weeks of unhealthy air quality. I urge everyone to do their part to help protect our beautiful state and all our communities.”
