Wildfire

Skagit Conservation District Wildfire Resilience Specialist Robert Walters presents a map of nearby fire risk areas  Thursday at the Skagit County Fire District 8 station in Lyman.

LYMAN — The Skagit Conservation District and its partners held a wildfire resiliency event Thursday designed to help property owners prepare their homes for wildfire.

Wildfire risk is increasing because of warmer temperatures, less summer rain and earlier snow melt, district staff said.
