Residents of Sisters, Oregon, and the surrounding Camp Sherman and Cloverdale fire districts can resume recreational fires on Saturday, Sept. 5. The fire districts lifted the seasonal ban that was imposed during the peak summer fire season, when red‑flag warnings and extreme fire‑behavior forecasts prompted strict restrictions.
What types of fires are permitted
The reopening applies to fires used for pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, cooking, or warmth. Yard debris burning, however, remains prohibited in the districts until an anticipated opening around Nov. 1.
Safety reminders
Fire officials urge residents to check with their local fire protection agencies for the latest regulations and to stay informed about weather and fuel‑moisture conditions. Both districts will continue to monitor conditions daily and may adjust restrictions if conditions change.
Contact information
For additional guidance, residents should contact the Sisters‑Camp Sherman Fire Department or the Cloverdale Fire Protection District. The agencies are available to answer questions and provide safety tips for responsible fire use.
