WENATCHEE - On Friday, Chelan County will move to Stage 2 fire restrictions, and with that will come additional activity and travel restrictions.
Stage 2 fire restrictions include:
Both the Valley and Mountain zones of Chelan County will be at an “extreme” fire hazard rating, which applies to the current conditions.
The local Fire Advisory Board, which consists of area fire chiefs and partner agencies, meets weekly during the summer to discuss whether fire hazard levels and stages should be changed. The board then makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. If commissioners are not in session, the Chelan County fire marshal has the authority to temporarily designate a fire hazard area and impose travel and activity restrictions. County commissioners then may approve the restrictions by resolution at their next regular meeting, which is Monday.
