Little Giant Fire Update.

Well, West Mason and the whole strike team from Mason and Kitsap Counties are home safe and tired.

The crews were out for the full 2 weeks. Due to the weather, they faced every phase of the fire from initial attack, structure protection, mop up and even broke down sprinklers as homeowners started to move back in.

Friends were made and lessons were learned.

On Saturday, before having everyone home for the day. West Mason's Deputy Chief was sent to the Colwash Fire as a Task Force Leader.

We pride ourselves on being there for the entire state. But mostly, we are getting free training and experience for when the big one happens here. We Will Be the Calm in the Storm.

Have a great day.

Burn Ban In Affect - Here is the DNR Fact Sheet

In an effort to reduce human-caused wildfires during extremely hot and dry summer months, DNR will issue a burn ban. Why does DNR have a burn ban?

Human activities are the number one cause of destructive wildfires. Restricting those activities helps reduce the likelihood a fire will start.

What IS allowed during the burn ban?

Liquid gas and propane stoves that do not use solid briquettes and have on/off switches.

Camp stoves and lanterns with attached pressurized gas canisters.

Solid fuel and citronella candles in metal or glass containers.

Propane gas camp stoves or propane campfire pits used for campground or backcountryuse.

What is NOT ALLOWED during the burn ban?

Fireworks of any kind.

Any incendiary devices, such as exploding targets, sky lanterns, or tracer ammunition.

Campfires, even in established pits.

Lanterns, stoves, and Tiki torches that use non-pressurized liquid gas or fuel.

Solid fuel candles that are not enclosed within a metal or glass container.

Stoves that use solid briquettes.

It is YOUR responsibility to know the burning rules. If you plan to burn, know the rules.

For state laws governing DNR regulated burning, see Chapter 76.04 RCW.

For DNR administrative rules, see Chapter 332-24 WAC.
What are the consequences for starting a wildfire during a burn ban?

A violation of this burn ban is punishable as a crime.

In addition to criminal prosecution, DNR may pursue civil actions against any personwhose negligence is responsible for starting or allowing a fire to spread.

If your fire escapes, you will be responsible for paying for people and equipment forfire suppression as required by Chapter 76.04 RCW.

If you have questions about a particular combustion device not listed above, please contact DNR’s
fire prevention and control staff at your local DNR Region Office. You also can contact your local
fire district with questions.

First and foremost, West Mason Fire extends it's condolences to those that have lost everything due to the recent statewide fires and to the friends and family of those that have tragically lost their lives.

As a result of these situations and the continued threat to person and properties, Washington State has issued a Emergency Statewide Burn Ban Proclamation 26-03; "under the provisions of RCW 43.06.220(1)(h), to preserve and maintain life, health, property, or the public peace, I also hereby impose a temporary outdoor burn ban by prohibiting all outdoor and agricultural burning in all 39 Washington Counties until noon on Wednesday, September 30, 2026." The full details are below. Thank you for your help in preventing additional fires.

West Mason Fire is both excited and deeply grateful.

We’re proud to share that we’ve taken possession of The Beast — a purpose‑built wildland water tender generously provided by Green Diamond. Built on a 2000 Freightliner and assembled with skill and pride by Green Diamond employees, this rig reflects the craftsmanship and commitment of the people who created it.

Our district responds to a high volume of fires on and around the forest lands of Mason County. Because West Mason borders every district except North Mason, our crews regularly assist throughout the county in addition to protecting our own 92 square miles. You’ll see this tender on the road often, supporting firefighters wherever it’s needed.

We cannot thank Green Diamond enough. Our hope is that the men and women who built, used, and cared for this truck in its former life know how much it is appreciated here. The Beast is already loved by the firefighters of West Mason, and it will serve as a valuable resource for the entire county.
