2019 Fire Season and Regulated Use Closure Termination Sept. 17th

Posted on September 17, 2019 by Editor

The Oregon Department of Forestry, announces effective at 1:00 am, Tuesday, September 17, 2019, Fire Season and Regulated Use Closure will be terminated in the Northwest Oregon Forest Protection District. This area includes all State, private and BLM forest lands included in the Astoria, Tillamook and Forest Grove Districts of the Oregon Department of Forestry. With the end of fire season, logging operations are no longer subject to fire protection laws, such as maintaining fire equipment at logging sites. This is the earliest end to fire season since 1997.

Burning permits are no longer required from the Oregon Department of Forestry for burn barrels or open burning. Burning of logging slash however does require a burning permit from the Oregon Department of Forestry. Many of the Rural Fire Protection Districts require permits during the entire year. If you live within a rural fire district, you may be required to have a burning permit. If you are not sure whether you need a permit or not, please contact your closest Rural Fire Department for burn permit requirements.
The public no longer has fire restrictions on smoking, campfires, chainsaws and motorized vehicle use. However, everyone still needs to think about fire prevention all year round. For example, do not discard burning materials, such as cigarettes, and always ensure campfires are cold before leaving.

For more information contact your nearest Oregon Department of Forestry office.
