DEBRIS BURNING CLOSED / CAMPFIRES PERMITTED IN DESIGNATED AREAS
Debris burning is currently closed due to fire danger. However, campfires, charcoal fires, cooking fires, and warming fires remain permitted in designated areas. Use caution with all open flames and completely extinguish fires before leaving the area.
Burn permits are required for warming fires. Free permits can be downloaded from our website or obtained from the metal box outside the front door of each station. Follow all permit instructions and call the Burn Line each day, as changing weather conditions may require temporary closures.
Stay informed, burn responsibly, and help protect our community from wildfire.
La Pine Rural Fire Protection District Receives $2.499 Million Grant for Station 101 Upgrades and Expansion
The La Pine Rural Fire Protection District has been awarded a $2,499,000 grant to fund seismic upgrades and major facility improvements at its main headquarters, Station 101 on Huntington Road.
The project will strengthen the station’s structural resilience, enhance firefighter safety, and improve the district’s ability to respond to emergencies throughout the community. Planned upgrades will help ensure the facility remains operational during and after seismic events, allowing firefighters and emergency personnel to continue serving residents when they are needed most.
District officials said the investment represents a significant step toward modernizing critical infrastructure, supporting first responders, and maintaining reliable emergency services for the growing La Pine area.
“These improvements will help protect our firefighters, safeguard essential equipment, and ensure we can continue providing effective emergency response services for years to come,” district representatives said.
The grant-funded project underscores the district’s commitment to public safety, emergency preparedness, and long-term community resilience. You can read more about it by clicking here
