Central Oregon Fire Chiefs To Collectively Open Debris Burning Regionally on Thursday, October 1, 2026!

The Central Oregon Fire Chiefs’ Association (COFCA) works with local, state, and federal partners to determine when to collectively open debris burning in the fall. The twelve local fire agencies in Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties met and agreed to collectively open debris burning on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 12:00 a.m.

Even with the joint decision to allow burning, each local fire protection agency has discretion to open or close it on a daily basis. Before burning, residents should check online or call their specific fire department to get current information, understand the regulations, and obtain the necessary permits if required. If burning across multiple days, residents should check online or call each morning before burning.

All Central Oregon fire departments and rural fire districts will continue to monitor weather and fuel moisture conditions in their district and, because of localized variability, may make modifications on a day-to-day basis.

We Will Never Forget — September 11, 2001

Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, first responders, military members, and everyday citizens whose courage and selflessness were demonstrated in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

This morning, our crews were also reminded of the incredible support we receive from our own Black Butte Ranch community. A special thank you to one of our homeowners and The Cottonwood Cafe, who graciously provided a First Responders Thank You Breakfast for our staff in honor of 9/11. Your kindness and generosity mean more to us than you know.

Today and always, we remember, we honor, and we will never forget. 🇺🇸
