Agency places more restrictions on burning

The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency has issued additional restrictions on indoor and outdoor burning, following a buildup of harmful smoke particles.

The stage 2 burn restriction, which took effect Sunday at 1 p.m., restricts the use any wood stove, pellet stove, fireplace insert or fireplace in Spokane County’s Smoke Control Zone, and all outdoor burning countywide, until conditions improve. If wood is the sole heat source, residents are asked to contact Spokane Clean Air at (509) 477-4727 for an exemption. Wood burners should check current burning conditions prior to burning by calling the Burning Information Hotline at (509) 477-4710.

In North Idaho, restrictions are also in place for residential wood heating and outdoor burning.

Poor air quality conditions are expected to linger through 4 p.m. today.
