The smoke and fire on the hill on Taggart Quarry Road is an approved DNR burn permit. They are burning the logging debris from logging 2 years ago. The burning is necessary due to the Bark Beetle. Material chipping does not destroy the beetle. Fires will be going on for the next 10 days. Fire will still be visible at night.

DO NOT CALL 911.

Shout out to the City of Anacortes Water Department. For almost 30 years the old hydrant was leaking, would not shut off completely, and actual broke during a fire. Getting it fixed was always a chore. The Anacortes Water Department took over the system out here on South Fidalgo last year and in June dug out the old one and replaced it with a brand new one! THANK YOU!!!!!

Ok maybe it is just firefighters and K9s that get excited about new fire hydrants.

Our flags will be lowered until July 4th in honor of the Firefighters in Idaho.
We also reflect on the anniversary today on the tragic loss of the Granite Mtn Shot crew.
Does not matter how you get paid or do not as you do this line of work, every time you back into the station it is a gift.

If you are burning debris in your campfire pit, that is a debris burn. Please check the Fire Marshals link to get the rules.
