Battle Ground has postponed its controlled burn of a deteriorated, unused school building until next month to allow more time for public comment, officials said.
Firefighters were scheduled to set the Central School ablaze Dec. 10. Officials postponed the date to Saturday, Jan. 21, to allow more comments, particularly from various public agencies.
Weather conditions could have forced a ban on outdoor burning next weekend, Battle Ground officials said, citing the Southwest Washington Clean Air Agency.
Area firefighters will continue using the building for training purposes through Dec. 9.
The brick giveaway associated with the Central School has been delayed to take place in conjunction with the new burn date.
