Summary
With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Washington’s fire crews are warning: fireworks = wildfire risk. Dry conditions across the state, especially in the Lower Yakima Basin and eastern Washington, mean even a spark can ignite a disaster. Last year, fireworks sparked 79 fires — half in western Washington — including the massive Bear Gulch Fire that burned 20,000 acres. Officials urge folks to leave big displays to pros and stay vigilant if lighting your own — no fireworks allowed on forest lands, parks, or in many cities, with fines up to $99. If you do go, have water or a hose ready and avoid dry brush. And don’t forget: July 4th also means beach cleanup day — volunteers removed 141,000 pounds of trash last year. Pack it out, or join a cleanup.
