Skamania County has implemented a small debris fire ban effective September 3, 2026. The ban prohibits burning yard waste, leaves, and other small debris in open areas.
The county's fire ban aligns with regional fire safety measures. Residents should avoid outdoor burning to reduce wildfire risk during dry conditions. The ban applies to all areas within Skamania County, including Stevenson, North Bonneville, and Carson.
The county's fire department encourages residents to use alternative waste disposal methods. The ban will remain in effect until further notice, based on weather conditions and fire danger levels.
