More detailed information can be found by clicking here.
Residential Burn Permit: A permit is required to burn any yard debris within our jurisdiction. Residents can request a FREE permit by completing the request form on our website: Burn Permits - Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One. Permits are not issued to residents within city limits, non-attainment areas, or urban growth boundaries. View map of restricted areas.
Recreational Fires: Permitted everywhere in our jurisdiction, no permit required.
Annual Allowable Burn Period: Residential yard debris burning is allowed from January 1 through June 15 and October 15 through December 31. This is different from a burn ban; burn bans can still be imposed based on current air quality or safety conditions. This does not affect recreational fires.
Who Creates the Regulations for Burning: The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency administers outdoor burning regulations and follows the Washington State Clean Air Act (Chapter 173-425 WAC). The fire district does not set these regulations but is required to enforce them.
