LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Commissioners should stay focused on fireworks

Editor, Island County Commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold and others have lost focus. If it’s dry enough to impose a stage 2 burn ban, it’s certainly too dry to light fireworks in the forest of the unincorporated areas. This is not a matter of profits or limiting hours or days or of beach trash or frightening animals. Our very homes and possible our lives are at stake here.

Editor,

Island County Commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold and others have lost focus. If it’s dry enough to impose a stage 2 burn ban, it’s certainly too dry to light fireworks in the forest of the unincorporated areas.

This is not a matter of profits or limiting hours or days or of beach trash or frightening animals. Our very homes and possible our lives are at stake here.

Please, please protect us. An “I’m sorry” will be too little too late.
