In Fire Season as of July 1, 2009
 
 
 Fire Season is activated each year when the weather conditions become warm and dry and when forest fuels dry out. Fire Season generally lasts from late spring to mid fall. It is, however, not limited to any particular date. During Fire Season special restrictions may be placed in effect and some activities regulated. Watch this page for Fire Season and restriction announcements in Western Lane District.

Burning Permits Back Yard
The Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority (LRAPA) regulates open burning in all of Lane County, in cooperation with the Oregon State Fire Marshal, Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), and local fire departments and districts. LRAPA Open Burning regulations are designed to protect human health and the environment as they relate to air quality, while local fire department and district regulations relate to fire safety.
  • To burn yard debris or clean wood contact your local fire district.
  • For areas outside a local fire district or located in Lorane or  Lake Creek Fire Districts, contact Western Lane District, (541)935-2283 for burning permits during fire season.
  • For Coastal Lane County see special instructions.
