County burn ban lifted

With the recent weather trend, the  Grays Harbor County Fire Marshal’s office and local Fire Districts have lifted restrictions on outdoor  burning in Grays Harbor County.

Multiple fire departments within the county shared the announcement, indicating that they would also be lifting restrictions at the same time.

Local cities may have specific rules on burning and residents are encouraged to check with their local officials for any remaining restrictions.

The public is reminded of the importance of completely extinguishing all fires that will not be attended  by dousing with water or moist soil and stirring with a shovel until all parts are cool to the touch.
