CLALLAM COUNTY – Clallam County Burn Restrictions go into effect on July 1 and run through October 1.
The burn restrictions apply to all outdoor burning except recreational fires used for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, warmth, cooking or similar purposes.
Keep in mind that recreational fires are limited to 3-feet in diameter and 2-feet high. Fires for debris disposal are not legal under any circumstances and are not considered recreational.
County Fire Marshal George Bailey says the wet spring was helpful in keeping things from getting too dry so far, but if conditions warrant later in the season, he may upgrade to a HIGH FIRE DANGER and prohibit all outdoor burning. The only exceptions would be within Olympic National Park and other controlled campgrounds.
