Are you wildfire ready?
May 3, 2024
By Angie Requena, on behalf of WA DNR
May is Wildfire Awareness Month, a timely reminder for Washingtonians to prepare their homes and property for summer fires and smoke.
Leaders from San Juan Island Fire and Rescue, Lopez Island Fire District No. 4 and EMS, Orcas Island Fire & Rescue, San Juan County Fire Marshal's Office, and the Washington Department of Natural Resources are here to show residents how to prepare for wildfires this summer and beyond.

Part of the readiness effort is connecting San Juan County residents to free resources and support through Wildfire Ready Neighbors (link below), which is launching in San Juan County for the first time this May. To date, more than 5,000 Washingtonians statewide have received a free action plan through this effort.
