Oklahoma Current Fire Restrictions (2026)
Conditional: No statewide Governor's burn ban is in effect, but county burn bans are widespread.
No statewide Governor's burn ban is in effect, but county burn bans are widespread. Oklahoma Forestry Services' official burn-ban layer, updated 08/19/2026, shows 38 of 77 counties with submitted burn-ban resolutions: Adair, Caddo, Canadian, Carter, Cherokee, Choctaw, Cleveland, Coal, Comanche, Cotton, Custer, Dewey, Garvin, Grady, Harmon, Harper, Haskell, Jackson, Jefferson, Kingfisher, Kiowa, Le Flore, Logan, Love, Major, Marshall, McClain, Nowata, Oklahoma, Pottawatomie, Pushmataha, Sequoyah, Stephens, Texas, Tillman, Washita, Woods and Woodward — Oklahoma County and Cleveland County are among them. County commissioners must declare extreme fire danger before adopting a ban, and a county resolution is effective for no more than 14 days unless renewed by the same body. Where a county ban IS in effect it bans outdoor burning in that county; per ODAFF, violating a county-issued burn ban is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 and/or up to one year in jail, and violating a Governor-issued ban up to $1,000 and/or one year. Any law enforcement officer in the state may enforce either kind. A Governor-proclaimed ban would supersede county bans; none is in effect right now. Bans change daily — confirm your county on the Oklahoma Forestry Services burn-ban map before any outdoor burning.
