Lane County postpones fall outdoor burning season to Oct 15, 2024, due to insufficient rainfall, prohibits yard debris burning, and fines violators.

Lane County has postponed the fall outdoor burning season until October 15, 2024, due to insufficient rainfall and cooler temperatures not ending the fire season. Until then, burning yard debris is prohibited, and residents must use alternative disposal methods. Violations may incur fines ranging from $50 to over $2,500. The Lane County Fire Defense Board and Oregon Department of Forestry will reassess conditions closer to the new date. For updates, visit LRAPA's website or call designated status lines.
