Burn Permits Now Allowed

Effective today, September 21, 2022, Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) will be initiating the allowance of backyard debris burns by permit ONLY. Burn permits from DFPA are FREE of charge but require an ON-SITE INSPECTION by a DFPA Forest Officer. Requirements for a Burn Permit Include: 1. Trail: A fire trail MUST surround the entire pile. 2. Fire tools 3. Water source 4. Onsite Abled Body: minimum of 1 abled body person capable of fire suppression. Burning MUST be attended at ALL TIMES. These requirements MUST be met before a permit will be issued. Please do not call for inspection if you will not be onsite and available for the inspection. Burn permits will NOT be issued for large piles that were constructed with machinery or for burn barrels. Permits will be good for ONE DAY only. All Burn Permits MUST be completed and mopped up within the time frame of the issued permit. To request a Burn Permit and schedule an inspection appointment, call our DFPA office (541) 672-6507. Inspections will be by APPOINTMENT ONLY and may be subject to cancellation or rescheduling due to workload and unforeseen emergency fire response circumstances. Campfires / fire pits are still restricted under the Public Use Restrictions and are only allowed within designated campgrounds. Propane fire pits are allowed if NO flammable material is added. via dfpa
