Current Fire Restrictions

Debris Burning is Officially Closed as of May 31, 2025

Due to the number of fires in the last several days, La Pine Fire District has officially closed debris burning for the season. Warming fires are still allowed as long as they in a designated pit/fireplace; do not exceed 3 feet in height and 2 feet in width; and are at least 25 feet from buildings and property lines and 15 feet away from tree branches. Burn permits are required for warming fires and can be downloaded free from our website or found in a metal box outside each of our stations front doors. Thank you to all of our community members for helping us make this a safe fire season.

Remember every fire you light is your responsibility – Forever. If your fire gets out of control, CALL 911

*Please note: Fire regulations and closures are created by various governmental agencies including COFCA, ODF, USFS, BLM, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) and Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch (COID) are the agencies with enforcement authority for these regulations. Regulations issued by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) apply to all private lands in the La Pine Fire District. We share dual jurisdiction and in general, if you live in the La Pine Fire District, you are also governed by the ODF restrictions. You can visit Deschutes County Dial at https://dial.deschutes.org, enter your address, and click on “Current Tax Statement.” If you see “Department of Forestry Fire Patrol” on the tax breakdown, then their regulations apply to your property. Many of our residents also live in an HOA, which may have additional restrictions. The more stringent restrictions of the two are the ones that apply in that situation.
