Each weekday the Washington State Department of Ecology monitors weather conditions and makes a Daily Burn Decision for agricultural burns. Ecology then notifies the local Burn Control Officer who reviews the Ecology decision, considers/monitors local conditions and makes a Daily Burn Decision for residential burn permit holders. Burning is permitted when conditions will allow smoke to rise fast and to dissipate rapidly. The local decision may be different from the Ecology decision, but it will never be more restrictive. Department of Ecology Learn Before You Burn, Did you know? Illegal Materials, and Quema de Barriles. Sabia Que?
