Burn season is closed!

05/30/2026

📢 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT – OPEN BURNING CLOSURE JUNE 1, 2026

Effective June 1, all open burning will be prohibited until further notice.🛑🔥

Due to increasing temperatures🌡️, forecasted high winds🌬️, and elevated wildfire activity throughout our region🔥, conditions have become increasingly favorable for rapid fire growth and spread. Even small debris burns can quickly escape control and threaten lives, property🏡, crops🌾, and critical infrastructure📡.

We are asking all residents to do their part to reduce wildfire risk by:

✅ Discontinuing all open burning activities🪣
✅ Properly disposing of yard debris🚮
✅ Using extreme caution with equipment that may generate sparks🧯
✅ Staying informed of current fire restrictions and weather conditions📰

Wildfire prevention starts with each of us. The actions we take today can help prevent devastating fires tomorrow.

We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

Permitted burning is tentatively scheduled to reopen October 1, 2026🗓️. However, that date could be extended based on fire weather conditions.

For questions regarding burn restrictions, please contact us 541-922-3133

We’re pretty lucky to live in a community like this. Last week we had the honor of sending off our tennis team to state, yesterday it was baseball, and tomorrow we get to do it again for our track team!
Join us at 9:45 AM as we send them off with a parade through town. As always, expect sirens, lights, and plenty of community pride as we celebrate these athletes and their hard work.
Come out and help us wish them good luck!

05/20/2026

FYI! Tomorrow at 9am the Irrigon Fire District will be supporting the Irrigon High School Tennis team as they travel to compete in the state tournament. We will be making lots of noise with our horns and sirens and you are encouraged to join in by making noise and or waving as we pass by and wishing these athletes good luck. Go Knight's!

The Irrigon Rural Fire Protection District received a grant from the Wildhorse Foundation for the updating of expired wildland fire shelters.

Irrigon, Oregon – Irrigon Rural Fire Protect District, is all hazards fire district responding to wildfires, structure fires, motor vehicle accidents, with this grant we will be able to provide Irrigon firefighters with new updated fire shelters with a $16,239 grant from the Wildhorse Foundation.

This grant will allow IRFPD to replace expired and/or outdated wildland fire shelters that are a safety requirement for fighting natural cover fires. These fire shelters are lightweight, heat-reflective emergency devices carried by firefighters to protect them when escape from a wildfire is impossible. When deployed, they create a small insulated space that reflects radiant heat and helps shield against flames and hot gases, increasing the chances of survival in extreme conditions.

Each year, the Wildhorse Foundation makes grants to eligible nonprofit, government, and Tribal organizations within the homeland area of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla people. Also eligible for funding are Tribal government agencies or Native American charitable organizations with their base of operations within Oregon, as well as national or regional Indian organizations.

The Wildhorse Foundation has awarded a total of over $20 million in grant funding since its establishment in 2001. Grants are awarded on a quarterly basis with the deadlines being January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. For more information, visit the Foundation’s website at www.thewildhorsefoundation.com.
