Second Fire In Underwood Area Leads To Burn Ban

A burn ban is now in effect in Skamania County in the wake of a fire Monday morning at an in-lieu fishing site off Highway 14 near milepost 56.  Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox said the fire occurred around 6 a.m.  There were no reports of injuries, but several structures caught fire, and one home was reported to have been destroyed.  Shortly afterwards, County fire marshal Marlon Morat announced that due to what he termed “extreme weather conditions,” an emergency burn ban against all outdoor fires on lands regulated by Skamania County, including campfires, was being put into effect immediately.
