In light of recent rains and the forecast of continued precipitation and moderate temperatures, the county-wide fire safety burn ban for unincorporated Pierce County will be lifted Monday, October 5th, 2020 at 8:00 AM.
This does not affect those areas in Pierce County where burning is prohibited because of environmental or pollution laws, nor in areas where the local fire district limits or prohibits burning. Burning in those areas is still not allowed.
Burning is restricted to natural vegetation from the burn site only. The burning of garbage, paper, or other refuse is strictly prohibited at all times. Contact your local fire department to see if you are required to obtain a burning permit.
Please see below for additional information on outdoor burning, or contact the Pierce County Fire Marshal’s office at (253) 798-7179.
