  Burn Bans
"Play It Safe. . . .Leave No Trace"

  Where not banned outright, outdoor burning can only be done with a burning permit issued by your local fire district, city or county. If the jurisdiction does not issue burning permits, all outdoor burning is prohibited. In addition, some clearing activities require permits, as do installation of sprinkler systems.

Contact Information:

  • Visit the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's Web site (external link) for burn ban status and general information about burn bans.
  • For information on permitting requirements in unincorporated King County, call the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services Customer Service Line at (206) 296-6600.
  • Within the Eastside Fire & Rescue service area (external link) call (425) 392-3433 for information.
