Rain, cooler temps end BLM fire closure on public lands

Effective October 4, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ended the regulated fire closure on public lands it manages in the state of Washington. The fire closure is no longer necessary due to recent precipitation and cooler temperatures.

BLM asks the public to use caution when operating motorized vehicles on roads and trails that have areas of high grass and vegetation and to ensure campfires are out before leaving the area.
