The ODF smoke forecast office has discontinued issuing written prescribed-burning forecasts, for NE Oregon, for the winter season. Please call the ODF forecast office, at 503-945-7401, for smoke clearance or questions. Winter hours are typically 7 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday.

We will resume issuing written prescribed-burning forecasts, when we anticipate an increase in prescribed burning (likely in the spring).
