Snohomish County Fire District 1 battled a fire on Ballinger Island on July 29. The fire started that morning on the three-acre island in the middle of Lake Ballinger in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, just north of the Snohomish-King County line. It was sparked by an illegal barbecue at a make-shift camp site. There are no structures on the wooded, peat bog island owned by the City of Mountlake Terrace. Firefighters completed mop-up on August 5.
