OLYMPIA, Wash. – The hot and dry weather has resulted in more restrictions on Washington residents.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has banned fire arms use on lands they manage due to wildfire threats.
The ban is effective today and follows Governor Jay Inslee’s proclamation earlier this week of a state of emergency for wildfire threats across the state.
The agency says the ban is consistent with shooting restrictions imposed by other state and federal land management agencies.
The ban includes shooting at department-managed wildlife areas, boat launches, and other water access sites.
