DNR Extends Burn Ban to Include Campfires (7/2/2021)

Posted on by

All campfires are prohibited, including campfires in campgrounds, in Spokane County.

Rule burns (burns without a written permit issued by DNR) and permit burns continue to be prohibited by DNR within Spokane County.

“The record-breaking temperatures we saw last weekend have left our state bone dry,” said DNR Commissioner Hilary Franz, “and the risks from fireworks and other holiday activities make the situation even more precarious. I am asking everyone in Washington to do their part to protect our firefighters and our communities this summer. Please do not start a fire outside, and please do not set off your own fireworks this weekend.”

Outdoor Recreational Fires and Open Burning also continue to be restricted due to the hot, dry conditions and fire danger in Spokane County.
