Snohomish County fire restrictions eased with rainy forecast
As summer turns into fall, and with rain in the forecast, authorities are easing fire restrictions.
The Snohomish County Fire Marshal announced the burn ban will be lifted for all of unincorporated Snohomish County, effective 8 a.m. Saturday.
That means those with residential burn permits for yard debris can now have controlled fires. Burn piles must not exceed 4 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet. Recreational fires are allowed in approved fire pits without a permit, assuming the pit is made of something that can’t catch fire, such as concrete or metal. Those fires can’t be greater than 3 feet in diameter and must be less than 2 feet high. They should be about 15 feet away from any structures, and water should be immediately available.
People who live in a city should check with their local fire department for any burn restrictions.
