ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) officially ended the 2025 fire season on today, according to DFPA officials, noting that recent rains and cooler temperatures have reduced fire risks in the area.

Residents can now burn debris outside city limits without a DFPA permit, but they should check with local fire departments for specific restrictions. A DFPA permit is still required for burning logging slash.

Despite the season's end, officials urge caution when burning yard debris.

Recreationists should verify fire restrictions with landowners before visiting wildland areas. The DFPA expressed gratitude for community support throughout the fire season.
