On Tuesday, the Grays Harbor Fire Marshal lifted restrictions on outdoor burning within the county.

Implemented on July 15, the county stated that the Grays Harbor Fire Marshal’s office and Fire Districts are lifting the ban with the recent rain the area has seen.

Officials note that 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.”

Please contact your local Fire District for further information.
