The Oregon DEQ has established a burn ban area in the heart of the metro area. This area begins in East Hillsboro and extends East towards Gresham. Forest Grove and the surrounding area is not in the burn ban area. To see a map of the burn ban area click on the DEQ Metro Area Burn Ban Area Map.pdf link provided here. Because our Open Burning Hotline is used throughout Washington County we include the information regarding the Burn Ban Area on the recorded message.
