Lewis County’s Fire Safety Burn Ban is set to begin July 7 at which time all outdoor burning is prohibited except for small recreational campfires. Call 360-740-1133 for a recorded message on burn restrictions. All small, recreational fires are allowed within UL-approved burning receptacles (not burn barrels) or approved campfire sites. No residential or land clearing burning is allowed within the permanent No Burn Areas.
WAC 173-425 bans the use of a burn barrel and prohibits the burning of all material, except natural vegetation grown on the property and fire wood (defined as bare, untreated wood, not dimensional lumber). This regulation also prohibits burning during periods of impaired air quality and prohibits outdoor burning from becoming a nuisance to surrounding neighbors and businesses. Fire safety burn-bans may also be called by county or local fire protection authorities.
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.
