In the area where SERVPRO of Benton County is located, our community has set guidelines from out local fire department, one what times are legal to “burn” items on our property.

This includes brush burning and fire pit usage. In Oregon, and particularly the Pacific Northwest, we have a lot of trees and flammable growth, which if a burn is done, one little flicker of fire can create a whole wildfire, which damages homes and the landscape of our state.

According to the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality), burn days are March 1 - June 15 and October 1 - December 15.

To our local customers, please remember to be safe and follow the protocols of burn season, it will keep our beautiful state, beautiful.
