Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue has released a public information bulletin: Due to the current high fire danger and existing wildland fires within our region, the outdoor burn ban previously issued on July 23, 2022 for the unincorporated areas of Snohomish County has been UPGRADED to a complete burn ban which includes recreational fires. The upgraded burn ban will take effect immediately and be effective until further notice. This restriction bans all outdoor burning, including recreational fires.

Incorporated cities and towns included in this outdoor burning ban are Lake Stevens, Mill Creek, Monroe, and Sultan.

All residential outdoor burn permits, including permits issued by PSCAA (Puget Sound Clean Air Agency) for agricultural burning, are suspended until this ban is lifted. This ban will remain in effect until there is a sustained period of rainfall and the fire risk is reduced. Visit the bulletin for more information.
