OUTDOOR BURNING RESTRICTED WEST OF SWINOMISH CHANNEL

Outdoor burning restrictions for the unincorporated areas west of the Swinomish Channel will go into effect Monday, July 1, 2002, at 12:00 a.m. This will include the islands in Skagit County. Recreational fires are allowed during a burn restriction if the pile is for recreational use only and the pile is not over 3X3 (see NWAPA regulations for recreational fire at www.nwair.org or call 428-1617). Yard waste and debris burning of any size, is not allowed during a burn restriction.

This decision was made in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, local fire districts and the city of Anacortes.

If you are within an incorporated city or town in Skagit County, contact your city or town fire department for burn restriction information.

You may obtain updated County burn restriction information by calling the Skagit County Fire Warden at (360) 428-3293.
