Restrictions on Recreational Fires (Spokane County)

Effective 8 a.m., Wednesday, July 24, 2019: Due to the current and forecasted hot, dry conditions, specified outdoor recreational fires (campfires, fire bowls, and fire pits) have been restricted throughout unincorporated and incorporated areas of Spokane County by order fire marshals and county officials. The restrictions will continue until further notice and are subject to change depending on conditions.

Citizens may still use backyard barbecues, manufactured portable outdoor fireplaces or other patio/deck warmers, provided the appliance has a spark arrester and a chimney, approved fuel is used, and weather conditions support safe recreational fires. Approved fuels include seasoned (clean/dry) firewood, briquettes, propane, or natural gas.
