No burn ban for Kitsap County as of 8:00 a.m., Friday, September 5, 2008.

(KITSAP COUNTY, Washington)  -- The Kitsap County Fire Chiefs Association, in cooperation with the Kitsap County Fire Marshal’s Office and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, announced that the outdoor burning ban will be lifted effective Friday, September 5th at 8:00 am.

 

The ban, imposed on July 17th, and was sparked by a combination of low moisture content in area vegetation and stretched resources as wildfires blazed across the Western states.

 

Although recent rains and cooler temperatures have reduced fire danger, officials note that outdoor burning is the leading cause of wildland fires and urge people to exercise caution by observing rules for outdoor burning.  Many outdoor fires require permits.  To find out more about the rules governing outdoor burning in your neighborhood, officials encourage contacting your local fire department about where it is legal to burn and how to get a burn permit.  For further information, call:   Bainbridge Island (206)842-7686, Bremerton (360)473-5380, Central Kitsap (360)447-3555, North Kitsap and Poulsbo (360)297-4888, South Kitsap (360)871-2425, or countywide at (800)323-BURN.
