It is important to know that with warm temperatures, it is important to be attentive to any ignition sources as grasses can catch fire and spread pretty quickly.

Did you know that there is a website that you can check out in Washington State to determine what the county-by-county fire danger is?  It's hosted by the Department of Natural Resources and can be found at http://fortress.wa.gov/dnr/firedanger/BurnRisk.aspx

By checking out the county list, you can easily see if your county, in Washington State is at low or extremely high risk of fire danger.
