Burn Ban
County Fire Marshal’s Office Implements Complete Burn Ban in Effect Wednesday, August 12, 2026
Skagit County, Wash. - August 12, 2026 — Due to the continued risk of fire and the commitment of shared firefighting resources to ongoing wildland fire response efforts across Washington State, the Skagit County Fire Marshal’s Office is implementing a complete burn ban effective Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 12:01 a.m.
The burn ban prohibits all outdoor open burning in unincorporated Skagit County. The only exception is agricultural burning, which may continue only when conducted in accordance with applicable state and local regulations and any required permits.
Propane fire tables and other gas-fueled cooking appliances are permitted during this ban. Self-contained wood pellet grills and cooking devices are allowed only when placed on a concrete or other non-combustible surface. Charcoal grills are permitted. Charcoal and ash must be disposed of in a metal container and thoroughly soaked with water. The container should be kept at least ten feet from vegetation or combustible materials for 72 hours.
If you are within the limits of an incorporated city or town, check with your fire department for current burning restrictions.
If you have questions about open burning in Skagit County, please contact the Skagit County Fire Marshal’s Office at (360) 416-1840 or our Outdoor Burning website at http://www.skagitcounty.net/Departments/FireMarshal/burning.htm.
Skagit County Fire District #4 was founded in 1946. A membership was developed on January 1, 1947, when we purchased our first engine and took delivery on April 13, 1948. The engine has been recently restored (thanks to Stacy Jansma) and currently serves our district as a display at department-led community events, and parades. It is a reminder of our rich history and those who have served our community before us.
Station #1 on Jackson Street was built in 1981 and currently houses engines 411 and 412, tender 416, and aid 419. Station 1 has two bunk rooms and living quarters for resident firefighters. It has adequate space for training every Tuesday night. Our firefighters train at least one night a week, and often more, in order to provide the highest level of service possible to an increasing population and a growing demand of the fire service.
