Clallam County’s annual Fire Safety Burn Restrictions take effect July 1, 2025, and run through October 1, 2025, unless conditions warrant a total burn ban.
The Burn Restriction applies to all outdoor burning except recreational fires used for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, warmth, cooking, or similar purposes. The fire safety burn ban also applies to any use of propane “weed burners”. Recreational fires are permitted unless further banned by extreme weather conditions.
Note: Recreational fires are limited to 3-feet in diameter and 2-feet in height. Fires for debris disposal are not legal under any circumstances and are not considered recreational. Recreational fires may only burn firewood or charcoal – note that trash burning is always prohibited!
The exception is within the Olympic National Park and state-controlled campgrounds, as they are regulated by federal or state rules.
If conditions arise, the restrictions may be upgraded to a HIGH FIRE DANGER, which will prohibit all outdoor burning including recreational fires and the use of charcoal briquets.
