Burn Ban in Pierce County
A stage 1 burn ban will be in effect throughout Pierce County beginning at 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 15. It is scheduled to expire on Sept. 30.
The ban is declared by the Pierce County Fire Prevention Bureau in cooperation with the Pierce County Fire Chiefs' Association and the Department of Natural Resources, and in conjunction with the fire marshals in King, Kitsap and Mason counties. The ban is prompted by forecasts calling for continued dry weather.
The burn ban applies to all outdoor burning except for small recreational fires in established fire pits at approved camp grounds or private property with the owner's permission. The use of gas and propane self-contained stoves and barbeques will continue to be allowed under the ban.

Pierce County ALERT information
Pierce County Emergency Management has implemented a new mass notification system for the county, Pierce county ALERT. It has the capacity of dialing all the landline numbers in the 911 database by specified geographical location. During emergencies we want to be able to reach all of our population, and we can by promoting the new "opt-in" feature of ALERT. This allows you to opt-in up to 10 different devices on which to receive these notifications. For more information or to sign up click the icon:
