Prescribed Fire Seasonal Plans
Prescribed fire is an important tool to reduce fuels and restore forests in Washington. As partners in Washington utilize this tool - coordination ahead of each burn season is critical to increase situational awareness of activities across the state, leverage resources for our shared goals, and work with communities to be prepared for any smoke impacts from prescribed burns. This page aims to provide information on each upcoming burn season to help us all be better prepared.
