Spokane County and Area Fire Chiefs Enact Burn Restrictions

Effective Monday, June 29, 2026

Spokane County, Wash. – In coordination with area Fire Chiefs from the Inland Northwest Fire Chiefs Association, a Fire Danger Burn Restriction is being enacted effective at 11:59 p.m., June 29, 2026, for Spokane County.  All Fire Agencies want to keep area communities safe from fire risk by reducing the number of human-caused wildfires.  

Unauthorized open burning and unauthorized recreational fires are restricted until this order is lifted or unless otherwise permitted by law enforcement or authorized agencies.  If you have any questions, before lighting any fire, call your local agency first (see page 2).

We want to do our part to keep our air quality as smoke free as possible.  Breathing smoke affects the respiratory system and is especially harmful to everyone and most especially, younger, and elderly generations, and those with heart and respiratory conditions.  

We encourage the public to follow these easy guidelines and help prevent an unplanned fire from occurring.  Keep our community fire and smoke risk free this summer wildfire season.

While burn restrictions are in place, any person found with a recreational fire or conducting open burning who fails to take immediate action to extinguish or otherwise discontinue such burning when ordered or notified to do so shall be charged with a misdemeanor (IFC 109; SCC 3.02).

If you have questions regarding burn restrictions in your community, please contact the appropriate jurisdiction and/or agency:
