How to Prepare for Increased Wildfire Risk This Summer
- Puget Sound Energy warned in May 2025 that potential power outages could occur throughout the summer across Washington due to wildfire risk.
- On June 1, a wildfire forecast was released indicating that Washington is expected to experience above-normal wildfire potential through September, driven by drought conditions and a hot, dry spring.
- To reduce wildfire risk during extreme weather, PSE may implement Public Safety Power Shutoffs, aiming to notify customers 48 hours before and provide updates every 12 hours during outages that could last several days.
- DNR advises property owners to create a 5-foot noncombustible zone, keep tree limbs 10 feet from roofs, maintain short lawns, and remove combustible materials near homes, as embers reliably start house fires, says DNR's Guy Gifford.
- These warnings and preparation recommendations suggest that residents should proactively reduce fire hazards and prepare for power disruptions to mitigate increased wildfire impacts this summer.
