Northwest Oregon Fire Season ends

Fire season on lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) protection districts in the Northwest Oregon Area (NWOA) will end October 15, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. which include: ODF Forest Grove DistrictODF Tillamook DistrictODF Astoria DistrictODF North Cascade DistrictODF West Oregon District These districts protect private and public forestland spanning across Marion, Polk, Clackamas, Multnomah, Lincoln, Benton, Yamhill, Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia Counties. The end of fire season means property owners protected by ODF can burn residential yard debris and burn barrels without a permit. However, this change does not relieve anyone of their legal responsibility to burn safely and responsibly. Easily check your local burning regulations at beforeyouburn.net. Fire officials caution that, even though fire season is over in the area, everyone should remain vigilant in fire prevention efforts. This includes refraining from burning on dry, windy days and managing debris burn piles with water and a shovel. Also, never leave a debris burn unattended and make sure it is completely out when finished. Fire season requirements for industrial operations are no longer in effect. However, the burning of slash resulting from forest harvesting operations requires a permit year-round. Check with your local ODF office before lighting
