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.

What does MODERATE danger mean?
MODERATE: When the fire danger is "moderate," it means that fires can start from most accidental causes, but the number of fire starts is usually pretty low. If a fire does start in open, dry grassland, it will burn and spread quickly on windy days. Most wood fires will spread slowly to moderately. Average fire intensity will be moderate except in heavy concentrations of fuel, which may burn hot. Fires are still not likely to become serious and are often easy to control.
