The City of Kirkland posted a Public Safety Announcement: to remind you of the fire danger and extreme heat. Please see the announcements here. "With the state‐wide drought emergency declared by Governor Inslee, the burn ban issued by the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for DNR‐protected lands, the current dry conditions, and the recent high temperatures, there is concern about rising fire danger and the well‐being of citizens. You are encouraged to be proactive in planning to stay safe in the heat and take appropriate measures to protect your health and homes. In hot and dry conditions, our city parks become susceptible to fires. When visiting parks, keep a look out for potential fire dangers and call 9‐1‐1 to report suspicious activity. The City of Kirkland reminds residents about the importance of preparing for all types of emergencies and disasters, including fire and extreme heat.
