Wildfire Awareness Month—Use caution when burning yard debris, it’s the number one human cause of wildfires

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) is urging everyone to exercise caution when disposing of yard debris this spring. There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026. Last year at this time, ODF had responded to 37 escaped debris burns for a total of 69 acres.

Over 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list. With record low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual. As grass and vegetation begin to dry out, the risk of a fire creeping away from a debris burn pile increases. Make sure to weigh your options and have all the required fire prevention tools in place before lighting the burn pile or incinerator.

Remember that you must have a burn permit from the City of Westfir to burn yard debris within Westfir city limits. Thank you for your cooperation.
