FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rogers County Burn Ban Takes Effect Following Emergency Commissioners Meeting

CLAREMORE, OKLA. - The Rogers County Board of County Commissioners approved an emergency burn ban during a special meeting held on September 2, 2026, after determining that extreme fire danger conditions exist throughout the county.

The resolution was adopted based on severe drought conditions identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), minimal rainfall forecast over the next three days, and a significantly higher-than-normal number of fire incidents occurring across Rogers County and the region. The action was taken with the documented concurrence of a majority of local municipal and rural fire department chiefs.

Under the burn ban, it is unlawful to set fire to grass, brush, forests, crops, or other wildlands, as well as conduct outdoor burning activities such as campfires, bonfires, or burning trash and debris that could potentially start a wildfire.

The burn ban will remain in effect for up to 14 days, through September 15, 2026, unless lifted earlier by the Board of County Commissioners.

County officials urge all residents to use extreme caution with any outdoor activities that could create sparks or ignite dry vegetation. With ongoing drought conditions and elevated wildfire risk, public cooperation is essential to protect lives, property, and emergency responders.

Approved by Commissioners:
Dan DeLozier, District 1
Steve Hendrix, District 2
Ron Burrows, District 3 Chairman
