Skamania County is implementing a temporary emergency ban on small debris burning beginning Tuesday and continuing through next Wednesday, April 22. All issued small debris burn permits in Skamania County will be temporarily invalid and there will not be any new small debris burn permits issued until the temporary small debris ban has been lifted. The projected end date could be extended if weather conditions continue. A statement from the Skamania County Fire Marshal’s office cited dry weather conditions and low humidity. In addition, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources will go to a moderate fire danger level for all lands protected by the DNR. Written permits issued by the DNR for silvicultural burning are only valid at low fire danger.
