## Who issues burn bans in Washington?

DNR sets burn bans by fire danger rating area for the state forests, state parks and private forestland it protects: “rule burns” are small pile burns allowed without a permit, and higher levels also ban permit burns and campfires. Cities, counties, fire districts and clean air agencies set their own bans elsewhere.
