Temporary Walla Walla County Burn Ban

As a result of the Fire Weather Watch issued by the National Weather Ser- vice, Walla Walla County is declaring a temporary burn ban, to run from 10 a.m. July 2, 2013 through 6 a.m. Friday, July 5. The Walla Walla County Emergency Manage- ment Department has already issued a citizen alert regard- ing the fire watch, in view of the combination of dry air and high temperatures resulting in extreme fire danger for 4th of July time period.

For the period named, Walla Walla County will be imposing the temporary burn ban on ALL burning, agricul- tural and residential, as well as special (roadsides, ditches, etc.). This ban would include other burning that would normally be allowed without a permit.

The ban does NOT apply to fireworks legally pur- chased and utilized.

The Department of Ecology and Walla Walla County will update burn information websites and messages to reflect this information.
