Seasonal Hazards: Wildfire
Annual Debris Burn Ban
The Lincoln County Fire Defense Board and Oregon department of Forestry have established a debris burn ban due to increasingly dry conditions.
The burn ban will be in effective from June 15, 2026, at 00:01 through October 15, 2026.
Fire danger continues to increase each year, and these consistent dates allow residents to plan accordingly. Individual fire districts may adjust ban dates based on local weather and fire risk.
The ban applies only to yard debris burning. This ban does NOT include (unless fire weather conditions are present or forecasted):
- Recreational campfires
- Propane or patio fireplaces
- Charcoal barbecue grills
Check with your local fire agency for district specific restrictions and guidance. See the full media release here: Lincoln County Burn Ban Notification 2026
