There is a burn ban, pretty much on the whole east side of the cascades.
I do know that the Naches Ranger district has one for sure..............
Herd rumors of a few fires up Little Nachese and bumping but like i said, just rumors :dunno:

A burn ban is in effect July 15, 2010 through September 30, 2010 on all forest lands under Department of Natural Resources jurisdiction.All outdoor burning is banned with the exception of recreational fires in approved fire pits within designated state, county, municipal or other campgrounds.The use of gas and propane barbeques and self contained stoves are allowed.
Remarks:
this is prettymuch statewide
DNR fire bans due not affect federal lands such as those owned by the US Forest Service or BLM. BLM and USFS issue their own fire bans since they have their own fire personnel.

yes but they make it alot harder to find the information :bash:
just saying that this is a good referance
Both BLM and individual USFS Forests have their fire information on their main webpage..just like DNR does
Don't really see that as being difficult :dunno:

We were camped at Rimrock lake this past weekend going to the clemens Mt Archery shoot up there. We were camped at the end of the grass airstrip. There was a No campfires of any kind "new" sign at the entrance about 100ft from campers that were having campfires! The Fire Fighters were actually parked next to them loading gear to fight the fire into helicopters. I could not believe how some people think the rules are not for them!!!

I was up fishing and saw the boulder creek fire up from bumping lake and I also got to see the smoke jumpers on the wildcat fire. So when people have fires out there in the woods they should not have a fire because when there fire gets out of hand it will burn forever. FYI if anyone wants to have a fire in the naches ranger district (notincluding the wilderness), there is people giving out tickets left and right out there. I saw a couple campers up the ravens roost road and reported the campfire to the forest service on Saturday.
Dont mean to step on anyones toes but, when you come across a campfire on the dry side this time of year and all of the folks are passed out in lawn chairs with beer cans strung out everywhere it is dissapointing. I dont mind tying one on myself, I just think they should be more respectful of the rules :twocents: This was at about 6am around the same area.

I just got back from the goat rocks wilderness, and it isn't very dry up there at all for August. I called the forest service last week prior to going up there, and they said fires are allowed. There is a reason that there have been not many fires this year, and it ain't because it is drier than a popcorn fart. Not saying fire danger isn't there, but it is a slow fire season thus far.I did not coment on there being a burn ban or not. Just saying that a fire you have to be 20' away from because it will singe your brows is overkill, and a HUGE fire risk in that area. It is the 10% rule - 10% of the folks will screw it up for the other 90%. :twocents:

I to will have a camp fire at night, even when iti s 80* out side, it's part of the persana of camping. Now i do not have a fire durring the day when its hot out but as evening rolls around, its time to lite teh fire regaurdless of the temp, bu ti do obsrve burn bans.
I like a fire so much, that durring early archery season when there is a burn ban inplace, i put a citranilla candle in the fire pit to resemble a fire (and keep teh bugs at bay). Its the atmosfier of being at camp.
