Burn ban expands in Spokane Valley

The Spokesman-Review
 

A day after Spokane County banned outdoor burning because of dry conditions, the same restrictions have been adopted by Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Millwood.

The ban applies to unauthorized burning and recreational fires, through Sept. 15. It does not cover field burning that has prior approval, backyard barbecues, chimneys or deck warmers if charcoal, seasoned firewood or propane is being used.

Anyone caught with an unapproved open fire can be fined up to $500 if he or she doesn’t put it out immediately.
