KING COUNTY FIRE MARSHALS LIFT FIRE-SAFETY BURN BAN SEPTEMBER 10, 2009
Fire safety burn bans
King County, together with other county and state entities, declares a fire safety burn ban on outdoor burning when the fire danger reaches a critical level.
King County will lift the burn ban at 8 a.m. Thursday, September 10, 2009. Please refer to the DDES burn ban news release for detailed information.
When there is a change in status, King County will update the fire safety burn ban status here and issue a news release.
A fire safety burn ban that the King County Fire Marshal Division imposes applies to areas outside the jurisdiction of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (external link). The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is the air quality authority for the greater Puget Sound area and restricts burning in more urban, densely populated areas.
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. Click here for a list of air authorities.
