Editor,

Island County Commis-sioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold and others have lost focus. If it’s dry enough to impose a stage-two burning 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 possibly our lives are at stake here.

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