Effective immediately, San Juan County’s fire danger is upgraded to VERY HIGH.

At this level recreational, residential, or commercial fires are not allowed, including charcoal. This means that campfires, even in a fire ring or bowl that is no more than three feet in diameter, are no longer permitted. Residential fires of yard debris are closed for the season and large commercial fires are not permitted.

Reminder: burn barrels are not allowed at any time due to a prohibition by the State Department of Ecology.

Propane fireplaces and pellet grills are permissible.
