Burn ban in Island County starts tomorrow

A modified burn ban goes into effect 8 a.m. Thurs., July 30 for Camano Island and the other unincorporated areas of Island County due to the hot and dry weather.
The ban restricts all outdoor burning in Island County, meaning private landowners cannot have campfires.
The only exception is recreational fires on county, state, private or national campgrounds where there is a camp ground host or a park ranger. Even then, campfires are required to be out by 10 p.m.

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.
