News Release

Grants Pass Extends Open Burn Window - 11/04/25

Grants Pass Fire has extended the burn permits issued in the City of Grants Pass for Saturday, October 25th, through Sunday, November 2nd. These approved permits are now valid until Sunday, November 9th. However, no new burn permits will be approved during this extension.
 
During the originally scheduled open burn window, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) did not approve any burn days. Additionally, there were communication issues related to the DEQ's burn information line, which was not being updated properly.
 
Burning is only allowed if the DEQ ventilation index for the airshed is **400 or greater**. It is the responsibility of each person to check the airshed before burning; the most up-to-date airshed information is available by calling the Burn Line at **541-476-9663 (541-476-WOOD) option 3 after 7:00 am** or https://www.josephinecounty.gov/i_want_to_/find___learn_about/wood_burn_advisory.php .
