FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – The Kitsap County Fire Marshal, in conjunction with the Kitsap County Fire Chiefs’ Association, announced today that they will impose a Phase I Outdoor Burning Ban at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 6.

Officials are imposing the ban in an effort to limit the most common cause of wildfires – outdoor burning – and urge the public to exercise extreme caution with all ignition sources.
Under a Phase I Outdoor Burning Ban, outdoor burning permits are temporarily suspended and no outdoor burning is allowed except for cooking fires in contained barbecue units and recreational fires. A “recreational” fire is defined as follows:
Officials hope that the coming burn ban will limit potential incidents in Kitsap County. The ban will remain in place until significant and sustained rainfall improves conditions.
