The following changes in Outdoor Burning regulations in Maple Valley
Fire & Life Safety jurisdiction will apply to the following area:

(Winterwood)

(West) from 18800 to (East) 21600 and ( South) Covington Sawyer Road to
(North) Kent Kangley Road excluding the Eastwood Forest neighborhood.

The intent of this change is to align outdoor burning requirements with the
neighboring jurisdiction (KCFPD #37)

See the Outdoor Burning rules section "Residential Outdoor
Burning" below. This will be allowable twice a year in the months of May and
October. The rest of the year will be closed to burning in your area.

This years Residential Outdoor Burning will be allowable through the end of
November due to the Summer Burn Ban. The rules regarding "smoke and
flying ash nuisances" will be strictly enforced, meaning a complaint from a
neighbor will require the individual burning to extinguish their fire.

If you or any of your neighbors have any questions, please give me a call.

RESIDENTIAL OUTDOOR BURNING RULES: 

Residential burning is authorized in the most rural areas of the fire district; 
provided the pile is limited in size, located at least 50 feet from any structure 
or wood fence, an adult is in attendance with appropriate extinguishing equipment, 
and the smoke and fly ash do not constitute a nuisance. No written burning permit 
is required for residential burning. Pile size is limited to 4 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet 
high (4’X4’X3’). Contact the district office or our web site at www.maplevalleyfire.org 
to confirm if you are in a burn or no burn area.
