Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Enacts Burn Ban (Photo) - 07/18/19

TVF&R has enacted a High-Fire Danger Burn Ban. Outdoor burning will be banned throughout TVFR’s jurisdiction, which includes portions of Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas and Yamhill counties. (See jurisdiction map attached.)

The burn ban prohibits all of the following:

            1. Backyard or open burning (branches, yard debris, etc.).

            2. Agricultural burning (agricultural wastes, crops, field burning, etc.).

            3. Any other land clearing or slash burning.

The burn ban does not prohibit:

            1. Small backyard recreational fire pits (maximum three feet in diameter and two feet high) in a safe location. Use only                      clean, dry firewood.

            2.  Outdoor fireplaces, grills, portable fireplaces (chimineas, etc.) and similar appliances with clean, dry firewood,           

                 briquettes, propane or natural gas.

The ban will likely remain in effect until the fall when weather conditions pose less fire risk.
