Wildfire Risk Reduction & Mitigation
Many of us on Bainbridge Island live in or near forested areas. Dry summer weather and lack of rainfall bring danger from wildfire to those homes. Evaluate the risk of losing your home to wildfire before it strikes, and take appropriate steps to protect your home and family.

LEVY LID LIFT
Bainbridge Island Fire Department is placing a proposition before the voters on the November 4, 2025, ballot authorizing the District to restore its 2025 regular property tax levy to $0.72 per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation for collection in 2026 and establishing an inflationary growth factor based on CPI for each of the following five years. That is an increase of $0.15 per $1,000 of assessed value over the current rate.

What does LOW danger mean?
LOW: When the fire danger is LOW, it means fuels do not ignite easily from small embers, but a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or dry, rotten wood. Fires in open, dry grasslands may burn easily a few hours after a rain, but most wood fires will spread slowly, creeping or smoldering. Control of fires is generally easy.
