Residents are warned to be careful. FIRE CREWS from the Wash- ington State Department of Natu- ral Resources, Fire District 6 in Union and Fire District 5 in Allyn started off a busy weekend last Saturday afternoon with a brush fire south of Union and east of the McReavy Road. A passing pilot spotted what he characterized as a large fire and reported it to emergency dis- patchers. A large column of smoke was observed, but finding access to the fire proved extreme- ly difficult, firefighters said. It took fire units from Union and A1- lyn about 20 minutes to find the fire, which was initially reached from Simpson Timber Company's 2400 Road. The fire was burning in a stand of timber and was beginning to make its way to a hillside. to help. Engines from districts 5 and 9 were placed on Pinedirosa Road and in the Sandy Shore de- velopment north of Lake Limerick as a precaution. The fire was finally brought under control by about 8 p.m. Sat- urday. Mop-up work continued until 2 p.m. Monday on the site, where officials estimated 12 to 15 acres burned. The cause remains under investigation by the DNR and the Mason County Fire Marshal's Office. AT 4:30 P.M. Sunday, a fire was reported to Fire District 5 near the Mason Lake Road above Paradise Estates at Mason Lake. It was reported to be near the Bonneville Power Administration powerlines and moving rapidly in the late-afternoon wind. The first fire unit arrived on the scene five minutes later and reported fire in heavy brush and timber. Firefighters were able to control it in about two hours and the size was estimated at about uphill. Access was difficult be- cause of steep terrain and heavy brush, firefighters said. Crews had to use chainsaws to cut a path to the head of the fire to stop it from spreading. Crew members at Fire District 5's Allyn station reported they could see the fire burning below several large homes. Powerlines were reportedly involved in the fire and Mason County PUD 3 was called to assist in securing power in the Victor area. That fire burned one acre, and its cause remains under investiga- tion. At 2:14 p.m. Tuesday, crews from fire districts 5 and 11 and the DNR responded to a brush fire reportedly caused by a car fire at the intersection of Johns Prairie Road and Johns Creek Drive. It burned about one-fourth of an acre, firefighters said. At 3:46 p.m. Tuesday, crews from Fire District 5 and the DNR were dispatched to a brush fire on Harstine Island at 250 East My- ON THE WATCH for windborne sparks during last weekend's brush fire east of McReavy Road is Marv Anderson of Fire District 9. A rash of brush fires that began on Saturday and continued this week has kept fireflghters busy. A burn ban is now in effect. Drop recorded: county has been trying to gain access to the bank armament project to do repair work, but the Parsonses have denied the coun- ty permission to enter their prop- erty, Hauth said. "We have been unable to reach agreement with the owners for the purchase of the property," he reported. HAUTH SAID HE received the latest list of conditions from the Parsonses' attorney a few weeks ago. He expressed con- cern about the county's ability to comply with those demands. The prosecuting attorney will submit a petition to Mason Coun- ty Superior Court seeking the condemnation of a strip of land beginning at the northwest cor- ner of the Parsons property and running east by southeast for a distance of about 350 feet along its south and west boundary lines. Hauth said this property is not in the immediate vicinity of the house or other buildings. "This comes as a result of not being able to communicate with Parsonses," Cady said. "They are not willing to cooperate with US. Bolender pointed out the bank stabilization project was done in property to access river Commission to consider "extreme circumstances." The Parsonses were provided with three options besides condemna- tion, Bolender continued. Not al- lowing access for the repair work, he said, obstructs efforts for public safety. Barnett Kalikow from Olym- pia, attorney for the Parsohses, told The Journal he could not comment on the particulars of the condemnation proceedings until the petition is filed with superior court. However, he did say, "We have not now nor have we ever said the county could not come in for maintenance. The only re- quirement the Parsonses ask is that the design be by a profes- sional with experience in hy- draulics and riverfront work and that the work be carried out by a professional. Then they can have all the access they want." HE POINTED OUT the dis- pute involves a history of prob- lems because the '97 bank stabi- lization project, which requires repair work, was not done pro- fessionally. The Parsonses con- tend the work was substandard and did not meet conditions of a U.S. Corps of Engineers permit. Kalikow said, "I don't know why that's so onerous for the county." He added that if he were a property owner in Mason County, he'd be concerned that the county doesn't want to hire professionals. In June the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a stop-work order on Skokomish River proj- ect permits which will remain in effect until the failed bank stabi- lization project is repaired. Tom Mueller, chief regulatory officer for the Seattle district of the Corps, told The Journal all of the permit conditions on the proj- ect on the Parsons property had not been met appropriately. Woody material used did not meet specifications for size or length in the Corps permit re- quirements and work needs to be done on the anchoring system which holds the log armament in place, Mueller explained. The Corps is working with the county to resolve these issues, he said. This spring the Parsonses banned county staff from their property and in July the county has obtained a no-contact order against Guy Parsons barring him from approaching county staff working within the river's banks. policies for state parks The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, at its regular meeting tomorrow in Okanogan, will consider changing its law-enforcement policy in light of its recent decision to arm state park rangers. The amendments will update terminology and define policies for the use of deadly force when rangers are acting within their law-enforcement capacity, said Virginia Painter, spokesperson for the commission. Mason County has several state parks, including Twanoh, Belfair, Potlatch, Cushman, Schafer and Jarrell Cove. The commission will also con- sider, among numerous agenda items, a legislative proposal to streamline the state park land disposal process to resolve tres- pass or boundary issues, and ap- pointments of citizens to the Win- ter Recreation Advisory Commit- tee and the Snowmobile Advisory Committee.
