As of 8:00 a.m., Friday, July 27, 2007 there is no burn ban in Kitsap County.

While the countywide burn ban has been lifted, the outdoor burn ban still applies in incorporated cities (Bainbridge Island , the cities of Bremerton , Port Orchard, and Poulsbo) and inside all Urban Growth area boundaries (Silverdale and Kingston ).  In areas where burning is allowed, burning permits are required.

 

The burning of garbage or refuse is illegal at anytime.  It is also illegal to burn cardboard, paper, building materials including scrap lumber, rubber products, plastics, or any product that produces smoke that is offensive or harmful to those in the neighborhood.

 

Residents are encouraged to check with their local fire department about where it is legal to burn and how to get a burn permit.  For further information, call:   Bainbridge Island (206)842-7686, Bremerton (360)473-5380, Central Kitsap (360)447-3555, North Kitsap and Poulsbo (360)297-4888, South Kitsap (360)871-2425, or countywide at (800)323-BURN.
