From the Spokane Valley Fire Department:

In coordination with area fire chiefs from the Inland Northwest Fire Chiefs Association, a Fire Danger Burn Restriction is now in effect as of Monday, June 30, 2025.

With high temperatures in the forecast, all cities and fire agencies want to keep area communities safe from fire risk by reducing the number of human-caused wildfires.

“As we enter the 2025 wildfire season, your Spokane Valley Fire Department urges everyone to stay alert and practice fire safety while enjoying the outdoors," said Deputy Fire Marshal ken Johnson of the Spokane Valley Fire Department. "Continued warm and dry conditions, intensified by low spring rainfall accumulation and a mild winter, have created a heightened risk of wildfires across our region. Please do your part to prevent wildfires—stay vigilant, follow burn restrictions, and report any signs of fire immediately.” 

If you have any questions, before lighting any fire, contact your local agency first.
