DEQ regulates open burning in our area. Forest Grove Fire & Rescue receives burning notices from the Oregon DEQ the day prior. Often they determine this decision based on the anticipated air quality conditions for that day. We provide the information that DEQ requires on our Open Burning Hotline at 503.992.3242 which is updated daily by 8:00 am.
