SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Burn restrictions in Spokane County are being lifted on Friday.
According to Spokane County, the restrictions that were put in place on June 29 will be lifted across the county effective one minute after midnight on October 16.
This means outdoor recreational fires, including campfires, are allowed in all unincorporates areas of the county as well as the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley.
People will also be able to use backyard barbecues, chimineas, portable outdoor fireplaces, fire pits or outdoor deck warmers as long as approved fuel is used and other requirements are met.
The county says burning may still be temporarily restricted by Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency due to the increasing smoke levels and air stagnation.
