King County has issued a Phase 1 burn ban starting this morning through September 30th. The burn ban applies to all of King County including the incorporated and unincorporated areas.
The King County news release says:
"Forest and yard debris burning is not allowed under a Phase 1 ban. This burn ban does not apply to federal forests or national parks, although these jurisdictions may have similar restrictions in effect.
This Phase 1 burn ban still allows recreational campfires in approved fire pits. However, campfires and fire pits are allowed only if they are located on private land with the landowner's permission and if built according to the specifications found here.
'With local temperatures rising, we have called this burn ban to protect public health and safety during the summer months,' King County Fire Marshal Jim Chan said, announcing the burn ban."
