NEW TOOL FOR OUTDOOR BURNING INFORMATION
Tenmile Rural Fire Protection District is excited to announce that we are now utilizing the “Before You Burn” app and website to help communicate outdoor burning regulations and important fire safety information within our district.
Residents can now quickly and easily:
✅ Learn local outdoor burning regulations
✅ Check current burn conditions and restrictions
✅ Communicate with local fire agency officials
✅ Create and update their own outdoor burn status
✅ Receive clearer guidance before conducting outdoor burning
📍 Visit: beforeyouburn.com
📍 Tenmile Fire Page: https://beforeyouburn.com/a/tenmile-rural-fire-protection-district
“Before You Burn” is a new service for Oregon residents designed to provide clear guidance on local fire regulations and wildfire prevention measures when planning a backyard burn. Users can immediately find out if burning is currently permitted at their location simply by entering their address.
Open burning comes with responsibilities, and communication with your local fire department is extremely important. Proper notification and following burning requirements help reduce wildfire risk, prevent unnecessary emergency responses, and keep our community safer during fire season.
This service is FREE and is made possible through a public safety partnership with Public Fire Safety, State of Oregon, & Tenmile Rural Fire Protection District.
As we continue modernizing and improving communication with our community, use of systems like “Before You Burn” may become part of future TRFD outdoor burning permit processes. We encourage residents to begin familiarizing themselves with the app and website now.
We appreciate your partnership in helping keep Tenmile safe. 🚒🌲🔥
