Check Before Burning
Although the Spring Burning season is slated to end on Saturday, it is a good idea to check with Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue before initiating a burn. SVFR issues burn permits for Western Lane County. Today’s warmer temperatures and dryer conditions will dry out brush and weeds quickly. Also burning is not permitted in barrels anywhere in Lane County and burning within the city limits of Florence is also prohibited. Dry, warmer conditions are expected to continue through the week with temperatures near or slightly above 80 degrees today with slightly cooler conditions expected for the rest of the week. Temperatures in the valley are expected to reach the mid to upper 90’s.
