Burn Restrictions in Lewis County

Burn Permits are Currently Unavailable

At 12:01 a.m. July 27, 2010 burn restrictions will be in effect for all of Lewis County, Washington.

Following the recommendation of the Department of Natural Resources, a review of the moisture content of large woody material, and the current and extended weather forecast, the Lewis County Fire Marshal has determined that current weather conditions within Lewis County have created substantial fire dangers throughout Lewis County, and that there is a need to impose a discontinuance and ban on outdoor burning on all lands regulated by the County of Lewis, EXCEPT for recreational fires contained within UL-approved burning receptacles or approved campfire sites.

The burning restrictions will remain in effect until such discontinuance is modified or rescinded by the Board of County Commissioners. A public announcement of the lifting of the burn restrictions will be made at that time. For further information concerning outdoor burning and/or the restrictions being imposed, please contact Fred Chapman, the Lewis County Fire Marshal, at (360) 740-1146. The Fire Marshal’s office is in the Lewis County Public Services building, located at 2025 NE Kresky Avenue, Chehalis, Washington.
