FIRE-SAFETY BURN BAN CONCLUDED EXCEPT FOR SNOHOMISH COUNTY AS OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2009
The Department of Natural Resources, fire departments and fire districts have agreed to implement a burn ban in King, County effective 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 8, 2009 and move the fire danger rating to Moderate. The ban will remain in effect until further notice. The ban applies to silvicultural, and yard debris burning. Recreational campfires are allowed in campgrounds as long as the fire is in an approved metal or concrete fire pit and clear of vegetation. The burn restrictions do not apply to federal forests or national parks, although these jurisdictions may have similar restrictions in effect.
We make every effort to ensure that all burn ban announcements and restrictions are posted. Always call or visit your county and local clean air agency and check the DNR fire danger for the most current information.
