Klickitat County has re-established a burn ban in the western portion of the county through the end of October, along with extending the ban in the rest of the county until Halloween. County officials decided to reinstate the burn ban in its Zone 3 due to the persistence of dry conditions. The ban prohibits the issuance of burning permits in unincorporated areas of Klickitat County except for authorized agricultural burning. Residential barbecues are still allowed. Burn ban zone maps are available on the Klickitat County Department of Emergency Management webpage.
