Storm Brings Fire Risk, Then Heat | Seattle News

Firefighters are on high alert as the storm clears, giving way to a dangerous heatwave with temps soaring into the 80s and 90s. Officials warn that 80-90% of wildfires are human-caused, urging extreme caution, strict burn bans, and spark-free behavior this weekend—because even rain doesn’t erase the risk.
