Temperatures are up and conditions are dry. Seven deputy sheriffs are assigned to Birch Bay for the Independence Day weekend, and stations of the the North Whatcom Fire & Rescue Service in Birch Bay, Blaine and Semiahmoo will be fully staffed. So Chief Tom Fields reported at the commissioners meeting Thursday, July 2. The chief will be living in his trailer at the Birch Bay station that is serving as his incident command post.
For the past three years the district was “incident free” over the July 4th holiday. That record will be difficult to maintain with the dry conditions this year. So drive slowly and keep a water supply handy.
But don't let that keep you from enjoying the fireworks!
