How to Find the Burn Ban Near You

Oregon burn bans are set county by county, so a burn ban 20 miles away may not apply where you live. To check the burn ban near you:

  1. Find your county on the map above, or search your ZIP on the homepage.
  2. Read today's status: Burn Ban means no open burning; Burning OK means regulated burning is allowed.
  3. Check the specific restrictions — many counties limit burning to daylight hours or require a permit even on burn days.
  4. Always call your local fire district's burn line before you light anything.

Burn Bans, Fire Danger & Air Quality

Oregon burn bans usually trigger for one of three reasons: elevated fire danger during dry summer months, an Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) increase from ODF, or an air quality advisory from Oregon DEQ during winter inversions. When PM2.5 climbs, even counties without a wildfire risk restrict backyard burning to protect public health.

In fire season (typically June through October), expect burn bans across the Cascades, Southern Oregon, and the high desert. In winter, expect air-quality-driven bans in the Willamette Valley, Medford/Ashland, and Klamath Basin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a burn ban in Oregon right now?

Burn bans vary by county and change daily. Right now 26 of Oregon's 36 counties have active burn restrictions — check the map above for your area.

How do I find the burn ban near me?

Enter your ZIP on the homepage or tap your county tile above. Each county page shows today's burn status, fire danger, and rules.

Why do burn bans affect air quality?

Open burning releases PM2.5 smoke. Oregon DEQ and counties issue burn bans during inversions and fire season to keep smoke out of populated areas.

Burn ban vs. burn day — what's the difference?

A burn ban prohibits open burning. A burn day is a day when regulated burning is allowed under county rules. Both are declared at the county level.
