SPOKANE, Wash.- Restrictions on outdoor burning and indoor wood heating will take effect Oct. 31, 2019 and will continue until further notice.
The burn ban was put in place due to the concentrations on increasing air pollutants, which could potentially put residents at risk.
According to the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency's Facebook page, the burn ban is currently in Stage 1.
The use of non EPA-certified wood stoves, fireplaces, inserts, and other non-certified wood-burning devices is prohibited in the smoke control zone, unless they are the home's only adequate source of heat.
But EPA-certified wood stoves, pellet stoves and other certified wood-burning devices are allowed during this ban. All outdoor burning is banned in Spokane County, even recreational fires.
