In Warm Springs a burn permit is required for yard debris and you can pick up your permit at the Warm Springs Fire Dispatch office.  Remember not to burn on windy days; never leave a fire unattended: and be certain the fire is completely out prior to leaving.  Have a water source and shovel available while burning.  Keep debris piles small adding material gradually as the pile burns down.  Call Police Dispatch before you start your burn to give them your permit number.

The Branch of Natural Resources IRMP Community Survey continues to seek input to document the community’s priorities, preferences and concerns regarding the management of the Tribes’ Natural Resources for the 2022 IRMP Revision.  You can find the survey ONLINE where there is also a link to the current IRMP that you can review.
