Substantial fire danger due to hot, dry weather prompted a burn ban that went into effect today in Lewis County.
Outdoor burning is prohibited except for recreational fires in approved receptacles, according to Lewis County Fire Marshal Fred Chapman.
The restrictions will remain in effect until further notice, according to Chapman.
Open burning is restricted in Thurston County as well.
Restrictions increased today for lands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
