The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has issued a Stage 1 burn ban for King County. This includes Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

The burn ban starts on Wednesday January 11th, 2012 at 4 PM. This ban does not expire until further notice.

During a stage 1 burn ban:
  • No burning is allowed in fireplaces and uncertified wood stoves, unless it is your only adequate source of heat. This includes the use of manufactured logs such as Duraflame or Javalogs.
  • You can use pellet stoves, EPA-certified wood stoves and natural gas or propane fireplaces.
  • No visible smoke is allowed from any solid fuel burning devices beyond a 20 minute start-up period.
