If the information for the current day has not been updated on the Burn Line, please look over the Oregon DEQ announcement below.
some things are never allowed to be burned
Oregon DEQ sets the state regulations for what is and is not allowed to be burned for disposal. Some common items/substances found around the house that are never allowed to be burned include, but are not limited to:
Asbestos
Garbage
Animals or Livestock
Tar or Asphalt

All fires must be attended throughout the burn, and you must have a water source on site with a shovel. Our department responds to wildland fires that are caused by out of control burn piles every year. Please practice fire safety with any type of burn, only you can prevent wildfires.
