Skamania County residents must follow Clark County's prohibition on recreational fires due to extreme fire danger, according to a Clark County news release. The ban applies to Camas, Washougal, La Center, Ridgefield, Woodland, and unincorporated Clark County areas.

The Clark County Fire Marshal's office issued the ban effective immediately on August 10, 2026. This affects Skamania County residents who live near the Clark County border or travel through these areas for recreation. The fire ban prohibits all outdoor recreational fires, including campfires and fire pits.

Skamania County Emergency Management advises residents to check fire restrictions before starting any outdoor fire. The ban remains in effect until further notice from Clark County officials.
