Working Together to Protect Oregon
The Oregon Department of Forestry, forest protective associations, rural and city fire departments, and several other fire prevention partners strive for one common goal...to prevent unnecessary, careless wildfires.
When allowed and under the right conditions, burning yard debris can be a useful tool.
Take full advantage of this APP to notify the appropriate jurisdiction of your intentions to burn and, in turn, whether burning is currently allowed in your area and whether a special permit is required.
