Outdoor Debris Burning Closes At The End Of April For The Bend Area
- 04/15/26
Bend Fire & Rescue, in conjunction with the Central Oregon Fire Chiefs Association, announce that outdoor debris burning will close at the end of April for the Bend area.
Outdoor debris burning will be open as conditions allow in the rural areas surrounding Bend until midnight on Thursday, April 30. Debris burning is not allowed within Bend city limits, per City of Bend Ordinance.
This closure comes a month earlier than normal because of increased risk shown by local drought declarations and the seasonal fire outlook.
Backyard fires, which include warming fires, campfires and cooking fires are typically allowed year-round in the city of Bend and the surrounding areas covered by Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District #2, when following Bend Fire & Rescue burning regulations. Additional restrictions can be placed on campfires during peak temperatures to reduce fire risk.
Please check restrictions every time you burn by calling the Bend area information hotline at 541-322-6335. Learn more about burn regulations and permitting at bendoregon.gov/burninginfo.
As temperatures continue to rise, please remember that wildfire is a threat in Central Oregon. Protect your home from wildfire by clearing flammable vegetation and creating defensible space. More information about simple actions you can take to prepare for the upcoming fire season can be found at bendoregon.gov/own-your-zone.
