06-19-19: Pacific County is implementing a burn ban effective 8 a.m. Friday, June 21st. The entire county is classified as being in a drought. Wildfire danger is likely to persist until rain returns in the fall. Until then NO burning is allowed except for small recreational campfires. "These shall be no greater than 3 feet in diameter and constructed of a ring of metal, stone or brick 8 inches above ground surface with a 2 foot wide area cleared down to exposed soil surrounding the outside of the pit. The campfire shall have an area of at least 10 feet around it cleared of all flammable material and at least 20 feet of clearance from overhead flammable materials or fuels. The campfire must be attended at all times by a responsible person at least 16 years old with the ability to extinguish the fire with a shovel and a 5 gallon bucket of water."
If you have any questions, you can contact 800-323-burn or www2.wadnr.gov/burnrisk or 360-642-9382.
Please be safe during this time. A fire can spread so fast. Please do not burn trash or construction materials during this time.
