With all that’s happening at Chelan County right now (Chelan County system-wide data failure) we don’t want you to forget that the annual ban on the outdoor burning of brush begins on June 1 for the lower elevations of unincorporated Chelan County.

Just a few things to remember:
• If you have a propane grill or fire pit, you can use it year-round.
• The burn ban applies to the Mountain Zone, or higher elevations, on July 1, unless the Chelan County fire marshal recommends an earlier start.
• Recreational fires/campfires  in unincorporated Chelan County are banned on July 1.
• The use of charcoal briquettes is also banned on July 1.
• Fireworks are banned year-round in unincorporated Chelan County – except on New Year’s Eve.
These rules apply to unincorporated Chelan County. If you live in the city limits, check with your local city government on similar laws.
