Stage 1 BURN BAN IN EFFECTThe county-wide Stage 1 Burn Ban is in effect as of today. This regulation does not significantly alter our current operations; however, the implementation of Stage 2, should it occur, will impose stricter guidelines. Stage 1 specifically prohibits the burning of yard debris, a practice that is already restricted within the city limits. Residents in rural or unincorporated areas should pay attention to this ban.
Please be advised that small recreational fires, barbecues, and native ceremonial burns remain permitted under this regulation. |

We are saddened to share the passing of former Fire Chief Russell "Russ" Pritchard, Jr. on June 2, 2026.
Born in Seattle and a lifelong resident of the White Center and Burien communities, Russ dedicated his life to serving others. He began his fire service career in 1965 as a volunteer with King County Fire Protection District No. 11. Through hard work, dedication, and leadership; he rose through the ranks, serving as Fire Marshal before being promoted to Fire Chief of the North Highline Fire District in 1997. After 42 years of service, Russ retired in 2007. His commitment to the community did not end there. He remained actively involved in public service, holding leadership roles in several local organizations and serving as an elected Commissioner for King County Water District #20 since 2011. Russ remained engaged and connected to the community throughout his retirement, continuing to support the organizations and people he cared about. Russ was a vocal force to remember, and his legacy of service will continue to live on in the communities he loved. Godspeed, Chief. Thank you for a lifetime of service.

THANK YOU BRANDON LaVIELLE
Sentiments from the King County Fire District 2 firefighters:
Brandon LaVielle, affectionately known as “B” by the original North Highline Fire District firefighters, has been a part of the fire service his entire life. Growing up alongside his father, who rose to become the Chief of NHFD, Brandon understands the vital role of training in keeping our crews at their best. With actual structures hard to come by, the generous donation of his house for live training speaks volumes. Recently, many of our crews participated in this essential training over the course of a week. A heartfelt thank you to Brandon for your contribution and for helping us remain at the pinnacle of our skills. BURIEN FIRE DEPARTMENT EXPANDS TO INCLUDE NORTH HIGHLINE
