Fire restrictions by state

Oregon fire restrictions, county by county

Oregon doesn't publish one county-by-county list we could watch, so this page won't pretend to show you a live status. What it can do: tell you who sets fire restrictions here and where today's answer actually lives.

Who declares fire restrictions in Oregon

Oregon's restrictions follow fire season: each Department of Forestry district declares fire season for the land it protects and sets regulated-use rules that tighten as conditions dry. Each national forest and BLM district adds its own on federal ground.

Statewide, start with the Oregon Department of Forestry . Locally, the county itself has today's answer — the courthouse, the fire marshal, the sheriff's office, or your fire department.

Rules change fast in dry weather — confirm with your county fire marshal or burn line before you light.

Why it might be dry enough to matter

Restrictions follow dry ground — see this week's drought picture, state by state.

Heading onto national forest land? County rules stop at the boundary — check the forest's fire restrictions and what stage 1 and stage 2 mean.

Every Oregon county

Each page below covers one county: who declares restrictions there, where to check, and how dry the ground is running.
