Chelan County Fire District 3

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the current Fire Restrictions in place for Fire District 3 and the surrounding area. ALL outdoor burning is closed - This includes recreational campfires. (This applies to private, USFS, and WADNR protected lands). The Current Fire Danger is: VERY HIGHU.S. Forest Service - Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest restrictions can be found here: www.fs.usda.gov/r06/okanogan-wenatcheeWashington State Department of Natural Resources restrictions can be found here:dnr.wa.gov/wildfire-resources/outdoor-burning/burn-restrictionsFireworks continue to be illegal in Chelan County. We will have apparatus patrolling and the Sheriff's Office will be contacted for anyone observed lighting fireworks. This is not a normal July 4th. This year, we are experiencing extremely dry fuel moistures for this time of year. The Fire Danger is currently what we would expect in mid to late August, not early July. The probability of a fast spread from a new start is high. You are responsible for any negligent act or fire that you start, including cost of suppression. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at Station 31 @ (509) 548-7711 ... See MoreSee Less

All outdoor burning is now closed. This includes Recreational Campfires. The Fire Danger is currently: HIGH Approved open-flame devices are:Pressurized gas camp stoves, catalytic heaters and white gas camp stoves and lanterns, commercially made and labeled barbeque devices, Stove or fireplace fires completely contained within a home or residence, Propane or pressurized white gas warming devices with a shield and base, An enclosed solid fuel fire that utilizes a wick to distribute the flame, and Listed gas campfire devices.If you have any questions regarding Fire Restrictions, please call Station 31 at (509) 548-7711.With unseasonably hot and windy conditions headed this way, the Chelan County fire marshal is banning all residential campfires in the county’s unincorporated areas.The ban does not include propane-fueled campfire units and it does not apply to commercially made barbecues and camp stoves.“It’s just too dry out there already,” Fire Marshal Chris Pedersen said. “Overall, conditions are shaping up to be a hazardous wildfire season. We need everyone on board with restrictions and to be vigilant about not causing a wildfire in our county.”Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s Friday through Monday, with highs hovering close to 100 degrees by Monday, according to the National Weather Service.With the new ban, Stage 2 fire restrictions are in place across the county’s unincorporated areas, both in the valley and mountain areas. Stage 2 restrictions also ban target shooting outside of a gun range. Already in place, motorists are not allowed to drive off a county road and the use of exploding targets and incendiary ammunition is prohibited.Pedersen reminds the community that fireworks are banned across Chelan County, both in the unincorporated and incorporated areas.“People, whether you live here or are visiting, need to abide by the fireworks ban,” she said. “We’ve already had one wildfire in May in Plain. Don’t add to the hazardous conditions by shooting off fireworks in the dry, fire-prone conditions of wildfire season.” ... See MoreSee Less
