The Clallam County Fire Marshall has declared a county-wide burn ban effective July 1, 2010. The burn ban will remain in place until Oct. 1, 2010 unless conditions at that time warrant an extension.
The ban, called specifically for fire-safety reasons, is strongly supported by the Clallam County Chiefs Association. Every summer, emergency response agencies respond to a significant number of outdoor burn incidents and complaints. A majority of these responses are due to confusion with the current status of burning regulations. In order to reduce the confusion that has surrounded multiple burn bans during previous summers, this ban will be a comprehensive seasonal ban from July 1 to Oct. 1.
You are now able to obtain a Residential Burn Permit on-line. A Residential Burn Permit is used for the burning of natural yard debris in a 4’ x 4’ pile in areas where burning is allowed. Burning is prohibited within the city limits of the City of Port Angeles and the Port Angeles Urban Growth Area (UGA). The UGA is from the west city limits to Reddick Road, from the eastern city limits to Koenig Chevrolet and Wal-Mart, and the Bonneville Power Lines on the South. Burning barrels are prohibited as is the burning of any processed items such as lumber, roofing, tires, etc.
