To have predictable and consistent burn bans, Clark County implements a policy to ban outdoor burning from July 15 through Sept. 30 each year
VANCOUVER – Clark County Interim Fire Marshal Donna Goddard announced today she has lifted the ban on outdoor debris burning in unincorporated Clark County effective immediately.
To have predictable and consistent burn bans, Clark County implements a policy to ban outdoor burning from July 15 through Sept. 30 each year. Designating this period was based on years of information about fuel conditions. However, under certain conditions, a ban can begin sooner or end later.
“As the summer fire season concludes and cooler, wetter conditions are expected, we anticipate a reduced risk of wildfires in Clark County”, said Goddard. However, Goddard urges that everyone remain cautious and responsible when burning outdoors. Permits are required for burning yard debris and land clearing. Please ensure you have the proper permits, follow your permit conditions, and exercise caution to prevent accidental fires.
