Klickitat County will put a ban on outdoor burning in its “Burn Ban Zone One” into effect on May 15. Burn Ban Zone One defined as lands east of the Klickitat County Fire District #7 eastern boundary outside the jurisdictions of the Yakama Indian Nation and the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. The ban prohibits the issuance of burning permits except for authorized agricultural burning, and will be in effect through at least September 30. Residential barbecues will be allowed. Last year Klickitat County established three zones for the issuance of burning regulations. Zone One is the eastern-most zone.
