KENDALL, Wash. — Officials called for an air quality burn ban in the Columbia Valley area of Whatcom County.
The Northwest Clean Air Agency issued the ban on Sunday, calling it a “Stage 1” ban, but they say air quality has worsened and have since upgraded it to “Stage 2.”
The agency says no burning is allowed in wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves and pellet stoves unless you’re officially exempt.
No outdoor fires are allowed either and violators could face fines.
The ban will remain in effect until further notice.
