DNR Wildfire Risk Maps and WUI - Review the DNR Maps Now

Friday, February 20, 2026 09:57 | Karen Grove (Administrator)

DNR is releasing their new wildfire risk map, and local governments will be required to use the map, or maps generated with substantially similar criteria, to enforce RCW 19.27.560 or your own locally adopted WUI.  Further, enforcement will only be allowed for parcels in areas identified as high hazard and very high hazard on the DNR map.  This requirement takes effect six months after the DNR maps are finalized.  WSAFM members are encouraged to review the draft map and assess how it will work at your permit counter, and provide comments to DNR. We have also been providing updates about this process throughout 2025 in our weekly email newsletters. Find the draft map, the schedule for DNR listening sessions, and more information in the WUI section of our Fire Marshal's Toolkit.
