Fire Season Information
Fire season on the Southwest Oregon District has not begun, but wildfires can happen on any warm, breezy day in spring. Wildfires are often caused by open burning. Never leave a burning pile of debris unattended, and always completely extinguish the fire before nightfall. Check it again the next day and put out any embers. For more open burning information, see the Southwest Oregon District's opening burning page.
