Division Chief for Puget Sound Fire Pat Pawlak said there are basic steps people can take to make their holiday celebrations safe, like making sure the grill isn't up against the house or something combustible. He said it's also important that grills are on even ground and are under constant supervision.
Pawlak said fires can spark and spread easily in the current weather conditions. His agency responded to multiple brush fires over the weekend and expects more will follow.
"Make sure you don't discard hot objects, cigarettes, things like that, you're not parking your vehicles in grassy areas," Pawlak said.
Pawlak and other agencies across western Washington are stressing safety so celebrations can stay celebrations.
