Backyard Burning closes June 1st.
After careful consideration of the recent lack of moisture and fuel conditions, the Linn County Fire Defense Board has decided to close backyard burning June 1st. Within the Scio Fire District's response area, you will still be able to have BBQs and campfires. For campfires, please only burn dry wood (no trash), have a water source on hand, and make sure the area is scraped clean down to bare dirt and lined with rocks or bricks to a maximum diameter of 3'. If you live in ODF's area (Rodgers Mountain, Larwood, Bilyeu Den), make sure to check their website for burn restrictions.

Smoke Detectors-
"Smoke detectors, a homeowners best friend".
Thanks to a grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal, the Scio Fire District will now be offering FREE smoke detectors and will install them for you as well. These free smoke detectors are available for citizens who live in the Scio Fire District's response area, own their home, and are elderly, low income, and/or disabled. To apply or free smoke detectors, fill out and submit this form:​
​
Why are smoke detectors so important? Approximately 80% of home fire deaths occur in homes with no working smoke detectors. Your risk of dying in a house fire is cut in half if your house has working smoke detectors.
The fire district is handing out free address signs. Due to limited supplies, we are only making one sign per address. To request your free address sign, click the envelope below.
