Klickitat County Clarifies What Outdoor Burn Ban Allows

Klickitat County Commissioners have voted to clarify outdoor burning ban regulations in unincorporated areas, with a goal of clearly defining what is allowed and not allowed during a burn ban.  The burn ban prohibits combustion of material of any type in an open fire or in an outdoor container without providing for the control of combustion and emissions.  That includes debris piles and campfires that utilize wood, pressed logs, wood pellets, paper, cardboard, briquettes, or other solid fuels, all incendiary devices, all containers and devices burning solid fuel with uncontained combustion or open flame, lanterns, outdoor stoves, and Tiki torches that use non-pressurized liquid gas or fuel, solid fuel candles that are not enclosed within a metal or glass container or with exhaust ports greater than ½ inch, and weed burners.  Use of enclosed containers designed and built for outdoor burning such as barbecues, smokers, outdoor ovens or stoves is allowed.  Also, liquid Fuel burning devices including ones with an open flame that have a shut off valve and do not incorporate any solid fuels in the combustion process can be used.  Complete details are available at klickitatcounty.org.
