Recreational burn ban lifted
September 30, 2025
Due to cooler and rainier conditions, the Vancouver Fire Department will lift its recreational burn ban on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
All outdoor burning of things like brush/vegetation and garbage is still prohibited within city limits and violators may be subject to a citation/fine.
The burn ban originally took effect on June 13 due to dry conditions.
