    Lake County Implements County-Wide Burn Ban Starting June 6 Amid Fire Season

    LAKE COUNTY, Ore. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) announced that a county-wide burn ban will take effect beginning Friday, June 6, in response to the onset of fire season.

    The burn ban aims to protect local communities, properties, and natural resources during this period of elevated fire risk, the LCSO stated. Officials emphasized that most wildfires are accidentally caused by human activities such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, machinery sparks, or power tools.

    Under the burn ban, the following activities are prohibited throughout Lake County:

    • Leaf burning

    • Wood burning

    • Burning of trash, rubbish, or garbage

    • Burning any combustible materials on private or public property

    • Use of burn barrels

    • Use of tracer rounds or live ammunition

    • Use of exploding targets

    • Release of sky lanterns

    • Outdoor campfires and bonfires

    The Oregon Department of Forestry’s Klamath-Lake District has classified the fire danger for the start of Lake County’s fire season as “Moderate.” This designation means fires can ignite from most accidental causes, grass fires can spread quickly on windy days, and timber fires may spread at a slow to moderate pace.

    Officials urge residents and visitors to adhere strictly to the burn ban and exercise caution to prevent wildfires throughout the summer months.
