Grants Pass Fire and Rescue Extends City Burn Permit Validity to November 9th

Grants Pass Fire and Rescue has extended the burn permits issued in the city for October 25th through November 2nd.

These approved permits are now valid until Sunday, November 9th. No new burn permits will be approved during this extension.

In a release from Grants Pass Fire and Rescue, during the originally scheduled open burn window, the Department of Environmental Quality did not approve any burn days. Additionally, there were communication issues related to the DEQ's burn information line.

Burning is only allowed if the DEQ ventilation index for the airshed is 400 or greater. It is the responsibility of each person to check the airshed before burning.

The most up-to-date airshed information is available by calling the Burn Line at 541-476-9663.

For additional information or questions, please call the Fire Prevention Department at 541-450-6200.
