All outdoor fires using wood fuel are prohibited; barbeques or grills using charcoal or gas and gas fire pits are still allowed at this time
Due to dry conditions from lack of rainfall and the inherent fire danger with this condition, Camas-Washougal Fire Department’s Fire Chief Cliff Free and Fire Marshal Ron Schumacher have issued a recreation burn ban in the cities of Camas and Washougal.
All outdoor fires using wood fuel are prohibited. Barbeques or grills using charcoal or gas and gas fire pits are still allowed at this time.
This ban is effective immediately and will remain in effect until further notice.
