Washington state and counties fire danger levels

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sets a fire danger level for the state forests, state parks and private forestland it protects, area by area. This page shows the state's highest level and each county's, with the date each was set. Fire danger can change from day to day in fire season, so check the source before you burn or build a campfire. We copy these levels once a day; the DNR page is the official one, and your city, county or fire department may have its own restrictions (terms).
