Due to increased temperatures and dry conditions, and the fire danger inherent to these conditions, Camas-Washougal Fire Department Fire Chief Cliff Free and Fire Marshal Ron Schumacher last week issued an immediate ban on outdoor recreational fires 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.
The ban is effective immediately and will remain in effect until further notice.
