Outdoor Debris Burning Within Redmond Fire & Rescues District To Close For The Summer On June 1 -05/27/22

Redmond Fire & Rescue, in conjunction with the Central Oregon Fire Chiefs Association, announced the date for closing of open debris burning. Starting Wednesday, June 1, debris burning will be closed for fire season. 

Backyard fires which include warming fires, campfires and cooking fires are typically allowed year-round in the Redmond area, when used within the guidelines set forth in the Redmond Fire & Rescue Burning Regulations. Additional restrictions on campfires can be placed during the hottest parts of summer, to help reduce the risk of fire further.

Check the restrictions every time you burn, by calling the burn information line at 541-504-5035. 

As a reminder for everyone living in Central Oregon, be sure your home has good defensible space around it to help protect your home from the threat of wildfire. More information about creating defensible space and preparing for the upcoming fire season can be found at www.projectwildfire.org.
