Press Release date July 30, 2009 -
Leon W. Smith, Clallam County Fire Marshal, is announcing that a county-wide burn ban has been upgraded to HIGH FIRE DANGER to take effect immediately. This upgrade will prohibit all outdoor burning which includes recreational fires. The exception to this is within the Olympic National Park and other controlled campgrounds.
This decision was made due to the dry season’s continued fire hazard presence and the upgrading of the fire hazard to High by the DNR.
the Clallam County Fire Marshal’s office works closely with local fire districts and local fire departments, and strongly urges all county resident and property owners to be attentive to the condition of their properties through proactive fire prevention measures.
