Spokane, WA June 28, 2024 ~ Spokane, WA- As the summer season approaches, fire officials in the Spokane Metro Area are taking precautions to prevent human-caused wildfires. Despite recent lower temperatures and increased rainfall, the risk of fire remains high and multiple agencies have enacted a Fire Danger Burn Restriction.

Effective July 2, 2024 at 0800, Fire Marshals from Spokane Valley Fire Department (SVFD), City of Spokane Fire Department (SFD), Spokane County, City of Cheney, City of Airway Heights, and City of Deer Park have all implemented the burn restriction. This decision was made in light of the upcoming high temperatures and to ensure the safety of communities in the area.

According to Fire Marshal Lance Dahl from SFD, burn restrictions are a common practice during warm summer months and serve as an additional measure to protect homes and wildlands from significant wildfire incidents. The restriction prohibits unauthorized open burning and recreational fires until further notice or unless permitted by law enforcement or authorized agencies.

Deputy Fire Marshal Ken Johnson from SVFD also emphasized the importance of remaining vigilant while recreating outdoors this wildfire season. He warned that warmer temperatures and drier conditions brought on by El Nino could lead to extremely dangerous conditions throughout the region.

In addition to preventing wildfires, officials are also urging residents to help keep air quality smoke-free. Breathing in smoke can have harmful effects on respiratory systems, especially for young children, elderly individuals, and those with heart or respiratory conditions.

To ensure a safe summer season without any unplanned fires, officials are asking residents to follow some simple guidelines. Under the burn restrictions:

- All recreational fires are prohibited. This includes outdoor fires without a chimney such as backyard fire pits or campfires using chopped firewood or charcoal.

- Open burning is not allowed. This includes burning fields or yard waste.

- Manufactured portable outdoor devices such as fireplaces, chimineas, barbeques, and patio warmers are allowed as long as they are used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

- Approved fuels such as clean and dry seasoned firewood, charcoal, natural gas, and propane gas are permitted in appropriate devices.

- Designated campfires in parks and campgrounds may be allowed with approval from the relevant agencies.

Failure to comply with the burn restrictions may result in a misdemeanor charge. Residents are encouraged to contact their local agency before lighting any fires.

For more information on burn restrictions, residents can refer to resources provided by the City of Airway Heights, City of Deer Park, SFD, Spokane Clean Air, Spokane County, SVFD, and Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The full burn restriction order can also be found on related documents.

As summer approaches and temperatures rise, it is crucial for everyone to do their part in preventing wildfires and keeping the community safe from fire and smoke risks. By following these guidelines and staying informed about burn restrictions, we can all enjoy a safe and enjoyable summer season.
