July 31, 2009
Due to high fire danger and expected hot and dry weather conditions, a modified outdoor burning ban for the unincorporated areas of Island County will go into effect Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 8:00 AM.
This restriction bans all outdoor burning in Island County. The only exception is recreational fires in COUNTY, STATE, PRIVATE or NATIONAL camp grounds with a Park Ranger or a Camp Ground Host. ALL fires are to be EXTINGUISHED by 10:00 pm nightly.
NO PRIVATE HOME OWNERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE CAMP FIRES.
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.
