A Yakima citizen asked about their neighbors burning garbage in their backyard, and leaving it unattended. The smoke and odor was unbearable and asked for suggestions of what can be done.
Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency has issued a Stage 2 burn ban due to forecasted weather conditions that will be contributing to a build-up of air pollutants. How long will it last?

Hold on a minute. Before you strike the match and get the marshmallows skewered, you need to know about the latest burn ban and how it may affect your plans.
Because of wickedly hot temps and dry conditions expected in Yakima County for the next few weeks, the Fire Marshal has declared a burn ban to begin on Friday (June 25).
