Okanogan County Fire Districts and Emergency Management strongly encourage you call Okanogan County Sheriff Dispatch at 509-422-7232 option 4 before burning.

Yes, Clearing the vegetation from around your home, increases the odds of returning to a standing home if a fire happens to come ripping by this summer.

If you decide to burn that vegetation, what is one thing that you should do?

Make a call to Okanogan County Sherriff Dispatch before you start Burning.

A phone call may prevent the fire department from being dispatched to a well-organized controlled burn.

“Call before you Burn”- It is quick, easy, painless, and will more than likely stop a few hearts from racing when the fire alarm goes off.

Be sure to check with your city, town, Department of Ecology (air quality) and DNR for their current burning rules/restrictions.

Remember please call Okanogan County Sherriff Dispatch, 509-422-7232 option 4, to let them know when and where you’ll be burning.

Ask around to your friends, family, neighbors and even your enemies if they received this message, if not, ask them to go to https://www.okanogancounty.gov/EM/EverbridgeAccount to sign up for Okanogan Alerts to stay informed during EMERGENCIES.

Learn how to receive alert notifications.

Every Thursday 7pm, 191 Industrial Way. Come see us and get a tour.

You might as well turn this sucker off!
all the fire departments in the county need help. We’ve heard all the excuses. I can’t commit to (fill in the blank), I’m not always available, I’m too young/old, I don’t know anything about it. They are just excuses. We are all volunteers. We can when we can and we can’t when we can’t.
This is an incredible job you get paid for in ways that aren’t money. If you’ve ever thought about it, contact the VFD in your area. The hardest part, is walking through that station door the first time.
We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference?
Every fire department across the country needs help.
