Lack of rain, fire danger prompt burn ban in Camas-Washougal

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 this week, due to dry conditions from lack of rainfall and the inherent fire danger.

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 will remain in effect until further notice.
