The Mason County Community Development Director, as acting Fire Marshal, and in partnership with the Mason County Fire Chiefs’ Association, has determined that current weather conditions within Mason County have created substantial fire dangers and that there is a need to enact restrictions on outdoor burning to all lands regulated by Mason County.
This burn ban applies to OUTDOOR BURNING, including land clearing, yard debris, permit burns, and INCLUDES prohibition of recreational fires and charcoal briquette barbeques. The use of gas and propane barbeques will continue to be allowed under the restriction.
*Lands protected by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) may have different restrictions. To find out more information or determine if you are in a Department of Natural Resources area visit www.dnr.wa.gov or call the DNR South Puget Sound Region at 360-825-1631. For further information, please contact the Mason County Burn Ban Information Line at (360) 427-7799.
Earlier this year, DNR and Grays Harbor County also extended their own bans to include recreational fires throughout their jurisdictions. See details on those bans here.
