Effective 12:01AM on Wednesday, September 30, 2009, the Fire Districts and Fire Departments in Grays Harbor County, WA, in cooperation with the WA Department of Natural Resources and the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency removed restrictions on all outdoor burning.
The amount of recent rainfall, combined with its projected continuing trend, has increased the 1,000-hour fuel moisture content above 20 percent and reduced the threat of a wildfire to an appropriate level throughout the County.
