Klickitat County Commissioners have set July 1 as the new date for a ban on outdoor burning to take effect in the County’s Burn Ban Zone Three, which is the western portion of the County. Burn bans in the other two zones are already in effect. Originally the Zone Three ban was to have begun June 15, but continued wet conditions in the western part of the County had led Commissioners to delay its start. Outdoor burning except for authorized agricultural burning will be banned as of July 1. Residential barbecues will be allowed. Burn ban zone maps can be viewed at klickitatcounty.org.
