Chelan County Fire District 3 Fire Restrictions in Effect

As of August 20, 2020, Chelan County Fire District #3 has enacted fire restrictions aimed at reducing wildfire risks. The restrictions ban outdoor fires and open flames across the district, a vital step in safeguarding both residents and visitors. Notably, exceptions exist for specific devices such as pressurized or bottled liquid fuel stoves, barbecues, and lanterns, provided they are used in areas that are cleared of flammable materials within three feet. Deputy Fire Chief David J Nalle has issued this directive to highlight the heightened fire danger in the region, especially during dry conditions. The enforcement of these restrictions is crucial for maintaining public safety and preventing potential disasters.

Residents are urged to adhere to these guidelines to protect their homes and the natural beauty of the area. This proactive approach reflects the fire district's commitment to community safety and environmental stewardship. Awareness and compliance can significantly reduce the risk of fires during the susceptible season.
