CLALLAM COUNTY BURN RESTRICTIONS

The Clallam County Burn Restrictions will take effect June 24,2026 and run through October 1, 2026, unless conditions warrant an earlier closure.

The Burn Restriction applies to all outdoor burning except recreational fires used for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, warmth, cooking or similar purposes. Recreational fires are permitted unless further banned by extreme weather conditions.

Note: Recreational fires are limited to 3-feet in diameter and 2-feet in height. Fires for debris disposal are not legal under any circumstances and are not considered recreational.

If conditions arise the restrictions may be upgraded to a HIGH FIRE DANGER, this will prohibit all outdoor burning which includes recreational fires. The exception is within the Olympic National Park and other controlled campgrounds.

Happy Father's Day to all the great people who fill that special place in someone's heart. We hope you get to enjoy the beautiful weather today.

It's all about Soccer in Seattle right now. USA against Australia at noon today, who do you think will be victorious? Comment below with your prediction!

A good reminder for all of us.

Olympic Interagency Fire Managers have declared the start of fire season due to hot and dry weather conditions. In the last three weeks, firefighter crews have extinguished several small fires that spread from abandoned campfires.

Fire managers are asking all to follow the simple steps found at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06//olympic/newsroom/releases/fire-prevention-tips-safe-summer-olympic-national-park-and-olympic to help prevent wildfires

I know we have some animal lovers out there.

UPDATE: here is the link if you would like to be placed on a list to help give a home to the abandoned animals in our community.

We are wondering if there are people in our community that would offer homes to some of the abandoned animals in our county. We would like to form a list of names with the animals that they could take. A list we could share between sanctuaries in our area to help find some babes homes.

There are not enough rescues in this town to keep up with the amount of unwanted animals.

Pet homes only.

Largest need: homes for roosters.
Next Bunnies
Hens
Ducks
Turkeys
And sometimes smaller animals like turtles, guinea pigs, bearded dragons etc.

Comment on this post if you are interested in being on the list and what type of animals you may be able to take.

It was sad to see the oil pastel sunflowers come down today. As the school year comes to an end we have to face the fact that soon our wall will be looking empty without Ms. Young's 4th graders' art. Sadie-Pie Designs Pet Portraits will be having the last art class of the year today.
