The Whatcom County Fire Marshal’s Office will lift the burn ban for unincorporated Whatcom Conty on September 27th, 2023 at 4:00 PM.

All outdoor yard debris burning requires a verbal burn permit, and all other larger burns require a written permit.  Contact the Fire Marshal’s Office Burn Ban Information Line for details:  (360) 778-5903.
