Today, DuPont Fire joins our community and our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We remember. We reflect. We will never forget.

🔥 Stage 2 Burn Ban – Effective Monday, August 17

Effective Monday, August 17, 2026, the City of DuPont will move to a Stage 2 Burn Ban, consistent with Pierce County and surrounding jurisdictions.

Due to continued dry conditions and increased fire danger, recreational fires will be prohibited, including:

Wood-burning backyard fire pits
Outdoor fireplaces burning wood
Campfires and other recreational wood fires

Gas and propane appliances are still permitted, including gas/propane fire pits, fireplaces, and similar devices, when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and away from combustible materials.

The DuPont Fire Department asks residents to use extra caution with all outdoor heat and ignition sources during these dry conditions.

Thank you for helping us reduce the risk of preventable fires and keep our community safe.

DuPont Fire Department
Provide professional service with compassion and integrity.
