Full burn ban starts today for all of Skagit County!

🔥 Starting tomorrow, August 17, 2023, there will be a complete burn ban in effect in Skagit County. Until further notice, outdoor burning is banned in unincorporated Skagit County except for permitted agricultural burning.

Enclosed barbeque and propane fire pits are allowed in improved areas, such as residential backyards, and on non-combustible surfaces which are a minimum of ten feet from vegetation or combustible materials. The use of a charcoal barbeque is allowed only on private property. Fire pits or similar enclosures with a metal grate are NOT considered barbeques. Charcoal and ash should be discarded in a metal container and doused with water. The container should be kept ten feet from vegetation or combustible materials for 72 hours.

If you are within the city limits of any incorporated cities or towns, check with your city fire department for current burn restrictions.
This ban does not pertain to agricultural burning permitted through the Northwest Clean Air Agency or silvicultural burning permitted through the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. For information on active permits please contact those agencies directly.
