Fire Marshals around the Spokane Metro area will be lifting restrictions on outdoor burning on Friday, Sept. 20.
The outdoor recreational fire restrictions that were implemented on July 24, will be lifted after almost two months, taking effect at 8 a.m. Friday. Restrictions for specified outdoor recreational fires (campfires, fire bowls, fire pits) will be lifted for the Spokane County and Spokane Metro area by order of area Fire Marshals.
“We want to thank everyone for their compliance with the burn restrictions this summer,” said Spokane Valley Fire Department Fire Marshal, Greg Rogers. “We experienced a fairly smoke free summer and safer conditions this year.”
Current and forecasted cooler/wetter conditions led to the restrictions being lifted.
