The Clallam County burn restrictions will take effect July 1 and run through Oct. 1 unless conditions warrant an earlier closure.

The burn restriction applies to all outdoor burning except recreational cooking fires.

Recreational fires are permitted unless further banned by extreme conditions — they are limited to 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height.

Fires for debris disposal are not legal under any circumstance and are not considered recreational.

If conditions arise, the restrictions may be upgraded to a high fire danger; this will prohibit all outdoor burning which includes recreational fires.

The exception is within Olympic National Park and other controlled campgrounds.
