State officials urging
caution with fireworks
With all of the fireworks activ-
ity of late, the Washington State
Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) is reminding the public to
be careful while recreating in and
near forests. So far this year, there
have already been more than 184
wildfires across the state.
"Given that 85 percent of wild-
fires on DNR-protected lands are
started by people, we urge every-
one to exercise caution with any
fire-related activities," said Com-
missioner of Public Lands Doug
Sutherland. "We want people to
enjoy their holidays, but please be
safe."
Three more
blood drives
are slated
The Puget Sound Blood Center
has several remaining visits to the
Belfair area over the next couple
Not only are grass and forest-
lands extremely vulnerable to fire,
but homeowners living in close
proximity to forested areas also are
at risk. DNR reminds the public to
be extra careful with fireworks and
to make sure campfires are attend-
ed at all times and completely out
befbre leaving the area. They also
need to make sure recreational ve-
hicles have an operating spark ar-
restor and that smoking materials
are properly extinguished.
EVERY YEAR around the
Fourth of July, DNR receives an
average of" 90 calls reporting new
fires - many of them caused by
fireworks. The use of fireworks on
forestland or state-protected land
is illegal.
DNR also encourages recre-
ational visitors to follow these
rules:
• When building a campfire,
keep it less than four feet in di-
ameter with at least a 10-foot
clearance. Never leave a fire unat-
tended. Keep water and a shovel
handy, and use both to put the fire
• Be sure to have operating
spark arrestors on all motorized
equipment (motorcycles, ATVs,
chainsaws, brush cutters, etc.).
If the vehicle's muffler and emis-
• sion system is faulty, fix it before
entering wooded areas. Catalytic
converters operate at about 1,800
degrees and can quickly leave a
trail of sparks - and fires.
• Extinguish smoking materi-
als with water or dirt.
DNR is responsible for pre-
venting and fighting wildfires
on 1.2.7 million acres of private
and state-owned forestland. DNR
is the state's largest on-call fire
department, with hundreds of
people trained and available to
be dispatched to fires as needed.
During fire season, this includes
several hundred DNR employees
who have other permanent jobs
with the agency, about 350 sea-
sonal workers and about 500 De-
partment of Corrections inmates
who participate in the Washing-
ton Work Camps Program. DNR
also participates in Washington's
