burn ban INFORMATION

October 1st, 2021

***BURN BAN OFF***

The fire danger has been rated low by DNR, and in conjunction with Jefferson County Fire Chiefs, I am releasing the burn ban.

As a reminder: All fires must have someone present at all times and with abilities to extinguish the fire quickly.

Fires larger than 4X4 must have a fire permit which is available for purchase by ORCA or DNR.

Burn barrels are illegal. If you have one, you cannot use it. These have been illegal for many years.

Burning trash is also illegal. Please don't do it. Natural vegetation only. 

Finally, you are responsible for any costs incurred due to a fire getting out of control and requiring an emergency response from any and all agencies.

Please be fire-wise and safe. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call.
