Restrictions on outdoor burning and indoor wood heating take effect at 1 p.m. today, until further notice.
Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency issued the following restrictions because concentrations of air pollutants are increasing, putting residents at potential risk.
Stage 1 “yellow” burn ban:
- The use of non EPA-certified wood stoves, fireplaces, inserts and other non-certified wood-burning devices is prohibited in the Smoke Control Zone, unless they are a home’s only adequate source of heat.
- EPA-certified wood stoves, pellet stoves and other certified wood-burning devices are allowed.
- All outdoor burning is banned throughout Spokane County.
