Burn Ban Effective June 16, 2026

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on June 16, 2026, a burn ban will take effect throughout Polk County. This action is being implemented in coordination with all adjacent counties as well as the Oregon Department of Forestry as fire danger continues to increase across the region.

Under the burn ban:

❌ Open burning is prohibited.
❌ Burn barrels are prohibited.
❌ Any outdoor burning of yard debris, slash, or other materials is prohibited.

The following activities are still allowed at this time:

✅ Barbecues and outdoor cooking devices used in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
✅ Warming and recreational fires, where otherwise permitted and attended responsibly.
✅ Consumer fireworks, where legally allowed.

While fireworks remain legal, residents are strongly encouraged to use extreme caution. Dry vegetation, warmer temperatures, and seasonal conditions can allow small sparks to quickly develop into significant fires.

Polk County agencies will continue to monitor weather conditions and fire activity. Additional temporary restrictions may be implemented throughout the summer based on changing weather and fire conditions.

If you live within the West Oregon Department of Forestry District Boundary, Regulated Use Restrictions apply. Please visit https://gisapps.odf.oregon.gov/firerestrictions/PFR.html for more information.

Please do your part and exercise caution throughout this fire season.

Strong partnerships keep our community safe. Recently, Dallas Fire & EMS crews trained alongside West Valley Hospital staff on hazardous material decontamination procedures.

This hands-on training focused on coordinated response, patient safety, and effective decontamination techniques in high-risk environments. By working together, first responders and healthcare professionals strengthen communication, improve efficiency, and ensure we’re ready when it matters most.

We’re proud of the continued collaboration and commitment to preparedness that helps protect our community every day. 🚒🏥

We're going into the final stages of academy training for our recruit volunteer firefighters. Last night, our paid staff and volunteers trained on what we like to call “first due drill”. This drill incorporates all aspects of what's expected of our firefighters when they first arrive at a fire. Our firefighters worked together to get the job done with no distinction between paid or volunteer. We don’t need to tell you, but you’re in good hands Dallas! 🫶🏼🚒🚑
