Annual Debris Burn Ban - Lincoln County

The burn ban will be in effect from: June 15, 2025, through October 15, 2025

The Lincoln County Fire Defense Board and Oregon Department of Forestry are continuing with the established annual debris burn ban due to increasingly dry conditions. Fire danger continues to increase each year, and these consistent dates allow residents to plan accordingly. Individual fire districts may adjust ban dates based on local weather and fire risk.

It does NOT include (Unless fire weather conditions are present or forecasted):

Recreational campfires
Propane or patio fireplaces
Charcoal barbecue grills

Check with your local fire agency for district-specific restrictions and guidance.
