Know when not to burn—sign up for alerts.
Puget Sound Clean Air Agency enforces air quality burn bans countywide and calls them when air quality is unhealthy.
Puget Sound Clean Air Agency can issue fines up to $2,500. Steps you can take to avoid fines and help our community meet federal air quality standards:
- Sign up for air quality burn ban alerts.
- Apply for the right to burn during a ban if burning wood is your only source of heat.
County or City Fire Marshalls can issue fire safety burn bans when dry weather conditions increase the risk of wildfires. For more information on fire safety burn bans contact your local jurisdiction.
