Backyard burning closed on June 9th, 2025. Currently the only burning that is allowed in Linn County is agricultural, religious or ceremonial, and BBQs (propane and charcoal). Religious and ceremonial is defined as a fire in a fire pit that is less than 3' in diameter and 2' high and burning solid wood (firewood - no trash, grass clippings, brush, etc.).
Once ODF enters fire season, if you live in the ODF protection area (Rodgers Mountain, Bilyeu Den, Larwood), you need a permit from ODF to burn in a fire ring and they only allow propane BBQs (no charcoal). Contact ODF North Cascades www.facebook.com/odfnorthcascade/ for additional information.
Later this summer we will likely have some Red Flag Warning days. Expect that during Red Flag Warnings, the Linn County Fire Defense Board will shut down all outdoor burning.
If you want to check the status of outdoor burning daily, you can go to this website 24/7/365. It is usually updated at around 7am: https://smkmgt.com/burn.php You can also call the Burn Line at (541) 451-1904.
