Part of burn ban lifted

Part of Island County's burn ban was lifted on Friday.
Outdoor burning of natural debris is still not permitted, even with a permit. However, recreational fires in fire pits lined with metal or concrete or in a barbecue or camp stove are now allowed.
As of July 30, Island County had restricted all outdoor burning due to the dry weather.

Updated burn ban information for Island County is available at (360) 391-0362. Property under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Natural Resources should call (360) 856-3500 for information on burn permits.
