Mason County Fire Marshals lift Fire-Safety Burn ban September 10, 2009

Mason County fire marshals, in coordination with DNR, announced they would lift their Fire Safety burn bans effective at September 10, 2009 at 8 am.

Fire safety burn bans are issued and enforced by local fire departments when dry weather conditions heighten the risk of wildfires.

During a fire safety burn ban, outdoor fires used to burn yard debris, land-clearing debris, and agricultural residue are prohibited. Recreational fires may also be prohibited.

Fire safety burn bans are generally called during the summer and can last for several months, even into the fall.

The air agency is not responsible for issuing or enforcing fire safety burn bans; we are happy to provide information about them as a courtesy to our local fire marshals.
