SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Spokane County is lifting burn restrictions beginning just after midnight tonight.
According to the county, the restrictions have been in place since June 26, 2025.
Once the restrictions are lifted, outdoor recreational fires, including campfires, will be allowed throughout all unincorporated areas of Spokane County and the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley.
People will also be able to use backyard barbecues, chimineas, portable outdoor fireplaces, fire pits or other patio warmers as long as approved fuel is used and other requirements are met.
The county says burning may still be temporarily restricted by the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency due to increasing smoke levels and air stagnation.
Washington DNR lands may also have more burn restrictions in place.
