Fire Season 2026
On these hot dry days of fire season, it's important to keep a few things burning in your mind:
1) Don't Burn
Make sure you are aware of current Burn Ban restrictions.
Don’t park in tall grass; don't throw cigarette butts out the window; don't light fireworks. In other words, don't be a fire-starter!
2) Be Prepared
- Sign up for the free Okanogan County Alerts to receive time-sensitive alerts about hazards like fires, severe weather, etc. Check annually to update.
- Visit the Fire Adapted Methow website to learn more about fire readiness measures, to help reduce the risks to your home and family.
- Get the free Watch Duty app to get real-time wildfire information for any US geographic area you scroll to.
3) Continue with your firewise efforts. Visit the Fire Adapted Methow resource page.
If you need help registering for the emergency alerts, give us a call at 509-996-2870 and we'll try to talk you through it.
