Outdoor burning of woody yard debris in all parts of Lane County is closed to reduce the risk of wildfire. The Lane County Fire Defense Board closed the spring outdoor burning season on June 15. Lane County residents are encouraged to dispose of yard debris through composting, chipping or hauling the debris to designated transfer sites. Violators of the outdoor burning ban are subject to fines and are also liable for damage caused if fires they start escape.
