Recreational burn ban lifts in Camas, Washougal

Due to the combination of shorter days, consistent overnight humidity recovery and current light rain, the Camas-Washougal Fire Department (CWFD) has lifted the recreational burn ban for the city limits of Camas and Washougal. 

Since many light fuels are still dead or dry from the summer heat, residents should exercise caution and be cognizant of dry fuels in the vicinity.  Airborne embers can travel a great distance and ignite remote fires in dry areas.
