The burn ban to include recreational campfires, charcoal and wood burning devices, residential yard waste, and land clearing burning.
The hot, dry weather is causing further restrictions on burning outside. A news release from the Grays Harbor Fire Marshal and Fire District have expanded the burn ban to include recreational campfires, charcoal and wood burning devices, residential yard waste, and land clearing burning are prohibited until further notice. However, you can use natural and propane-gas burning self-contained camping stoves and portable firepits are allowed. In Pacific County, the burn ban begins at midnight Saturday morning and applies to outdoor debris burning. Recreational campfires will be allowed only in improved fire pits and designated campgrounds. The city of Hoquiam has joined in the burn ban within their city limits.
