Effective August 3, 2026, the Linn County Fire Defense Board is implementing fire restrictions due to elevated fire risk and expected Red Flag Warnings, in line with ODF guidance.
All open fires are prohibited, including recreational and cooking fires in wood or charcoal pits, as well as agricultural burning. Gas-fired and pellet barbecues are allowed.
These restrictions will remain in place as long as extreme fire danger continues. Exercise extreme caution with any fire-related activities, towing (chains), and outdoor recreation. Pacific Power has also warned of possible selective grid shutdowns during high-temperature and windy conditions.
Stay informed by signing up for Linn Benton Alerts and always comply with restrictions.
