Oklahoma Current Fire Restrictions (2026)

Conditional: No statewide Governor's burn ban is in effect. Oklahoma Forestry Services' official burn-ban layer, last edited November 9, 2026, shows 1 of Oklahoma's 77 counties under an active county burn ban: McCurtain (its entry was edited November 9, 2026 and reads County Burn Ban). McCURTAIN COUNTY IS BACK UNDER A COUNTY BURN BAN - it had come off its ban on November 2, 2026 - AND HASKELL COUNTY IS NO LONGER UNDER ONE: the layer shows Haskell came off on November 9, 2026, so the 1 county now under a ban is a different county from LawLert's last reading. The other 76 counties, including Haskell, Le Flore, Sequoyah, Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City) and Tulsa County, show no county burn ban on the layer. The layer records the remaining ban as a county-issued ban and flags no Governor-proclaimed ban. 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.
