2017 Mason County Burn Ban

COUNTY-WIDE OUTDOOR BURN BAN EFFECTIVE 8:00AM-SATURDAY, JULY 15TH, 2017 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

The Mason County Community Development Director, as acting Fire Marshal, and in partnership with the Mason County Fire Chiefs’ Association, has determined that current weather conditions within Mason County have created substantial fire dangers and that there is a need to enact restriction on outdoor burning to all lands regulated by Mason County.

This burn ban applies to OUTDOOR BURNING, including land clearing and yard debris; with the exception of recreational fires in approved concrete, stone, or metal pits like those commonly found in campgrounds. The use of charcoal briquettes, gas and propane barbecues will continue to be allowed under the ban.
