Kittitas County, WA - 09/18/2013 - Kittitas County, WA – 09/18/13 - ELLENSBURG, Wash.— Brenda Larsen, Kittitas County Fire Marshal, today announced that Kittitas County will lift the burn ban effective September 18, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
The burn ban was originally implemented based on the following criteria; low moisture content of 100 hour fuels, weather conditions and patterns, topography and fuel types within the affected areas. It has become apparent that with the fuel moisture content currently seen in our region, the relative humidity and the projected weather patterns, that a burn ban is no longer necessary.
Any questions regarding burning regulations within the unincorporated areas of Kittitas County may be directed to Brenda Larsen at the County Fire Marshal’s Office.
