Whatcom County Emergency Management extended the county-wide stage 2 burn ban through the weekend, as reported in the July 31, 2026, daily briefing. The ban prohibits all outdoor burning and remains in effect until further notice.

The July 30 briefing also noted the same ban was active, indicating no change in the restriction between those two days. Residents are reminded that the ban applies across the entire county and is in place due to dry conditions and fire risk. The county advises against outdoor burning until the ban is lifted.
