ROSLYN, Wash. – The Roslyn Fire Department (RFD) announced that Upper Kittitas County fire crews will conduct a prescribed fire on Thursday. The burning will take place above both C Street and D Street.

To protect the community from potential threats, crews have set up temporary fencing in case of rolling debris and will use a hose lay around the piles.

"This burn is part of the on-going hazardous fuels reduction to better protect Roslyn in the event of wildfire," RFD officials stated.

The burn has received approval from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.
