Due to dry conditions and predicted elevated temperatures, and the inherent fire danger associated with this condition, Camas-Washougal Fire Department’s Fire Chief Cliff Free and Fire Marshal Ron Schumacher have issued a recreational burn ban in the cities of Camas and Washougal.
All outdoor fires using wood fuel are prohibited. Barbecues 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.
