Annette Warren, Clallam County fire marshal, announces that a countywide burn ban has been downgraded to moderate fire danger.

The lowering of the fire danger will allow recreational fires: A size no larger than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, used for pleasure, warmth, cooking or similar purposes. The fires shall be contained in a fire ring or concrete pit. Contact your local fire district for additional questions or guidance.

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources burn ban remains in effect until lifted by the Commissioner of Public Lands.
