A ban on open outdoor burning in Klickitat County’s Burn Ban Zone Two will go into effect on Monday, June 3. Zone Two is defined as unincorporated lands between the Klickitat County Fire District #7 eastern boundary west to the western boundaries of Klickitat County Fire Districts #4, 12 and 15 then north on the Klickitat River to the north county line, to include but not limited to Klickitat County Fire Districts #4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14 and 15. Yakama Nation and Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission lands are not a part of this ban. It prohibits the issuance of burning permits except for authorized agricultural burning. Residential barbecues are allowed. The ban will be in place in Zone Two from June 3 until the county makes a decision to rescind it. Those within the corporate limits of any city or town should check with the appropriate authorities concerning burning restrictions in those communities.
