Backyard yard-debris fires in Lane County require a LRAPA permit and are only allowed on approved burn days during burn season. Recreational campfires are treated separately and are generally allowed without a permit. During fire season and curtailments, open backyard fires are prohibited.
Backyard open burning of yard debris is distinct from a small recreational fire. Debris burning requires a LRAPA permit and can only happen on approved days during the burn season, following the daily burning advisory. During fire season (mid-June to mid-October) declared by the Oregon Department of Forestry, and during any air-quality curtailment, open backyard burning is prohibited. Woody yard trimmings, leaves, and grass clippings should not be burned in a recreational fire ring. Only clean, dry natural debris is allowed in a permitted burn pile, and no garbage, plastics, or treated wood may be burned. Always confirm the day's status on the burn advisory line before lighting.
Open burning on a banned day or of prohibited materials is enforceable by LRAPA and local fire districts; escaped fires may trigger suppression-cost liability.
