Today we are honoring Mike Wright's 50 years of service. To honor him, we will be sounding the Fire Siren at 2pm. Many years ago, this siren rang at noon everyday and to alert responders when there was an emergency. This is part of the ceremony, please do not call 911.

We have received a lot of questions about when outdoor burning will close for fire season in Crook County. We are aware of other counties and agencies in Central Oregon closing on April 30th.

At this time, Crook County Fire & Rescue is NOT planning on closing burning on April 30th. We are actively monitoring the weather and the impact the mild winter has had on fuels in our area.

The best location to get up-to-date burning information is on our website, www.crookcountyfireandrescue.com. You can also call the Burn Line at 541-447-BURN (2876).
