CHEHALIS – Local officials have decided it’s becoming too dry for outdoor burning in Lewis County.
Beginning on Monday at 12:01 a.m., a burn ban goes into effect until further notice, according to the Lewis County Fire Marshal.
Exceptions are made for recreational fires either in approved campfire sites or approved burning receptacles, according to Fire Marshal Fred Chapman. Answers to related can questions can be sought by calling Chapman at 360-740-1146.
A similar burn ban statewide went into effect July 1 on all forestland and other property that is protected by the state Department of Natural Resources.
