With the weather warming up, we’re starting to see more yard clean-up and outdoor burning 🌿🔥

Last night, Officers with the Montesano Police Department assisted the Montesano Fire Department in locating an unattended yard waste fire. Thankfully it was handled quickly, but it’s a good reminder of how easily things can get away from us.

Just a friendly reminder to keep fire safety in mind:
• Check current burn regulations and local laws before burning
• Keep a water source or charged hose nearby
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Make sure your burn pile is fully out when you’re done

A little extra caution goes a long way in keeping our community safe. Thanks for doing your part!
