SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Spokane County and fire chiefs from the Inland Northwest Fire Chiefs Association are enacting a Fire Danger Burn Restriction beginning at 11:59 p.m. Monday, June 29, 2026, to reduce human-caused wildfires across the region.
The restriction prohibits unauthorized open burning and recreational fires until the order is lifted or unless otherwise permitted by law enforcement or authorized agencies. Anyone who refuses to extinguish a fire when ordered to do so faces a misdemeanor charge.
Fire officials say smoke inhalation poses the greatest risk to children, the elderly, and people with heart or respiratory conditions.
Contact your local fire agency before lighting any fire:
