Corvallis Postpones Backyard Burning

April 14, 2021 - The National Weather Service has issued a “high fire danger” warning this week for South Willamette Valley. Higher than normal temperatures in conjunction with high winds and low humidity are all contributors to an elevated fire danger. As a result, the Benton County Fire Defense Board has decided to suspend all back-yard burning until weather conditions change. 

The backyard burn ban is in effect for both the City of Corvallis and the Corvallis Rural Fire Protection District.  Please contact the Corvallis Fire Department Burn Line at 541-766-6971 for current information.
