2015 Oregon Revised Statutes
Volume : 12 - Drugs and Alcohol, Fire Protection, Natural Resources
Chapter 477 - Fire Protection of Forests and Vegetation
Section 477.064 - Uncontrolled fire declared nuisance.

OR Rev Stat § 477.064 (2015) What's This?

Any fire on any forestland in Oregon burning uncontrolled or without proper action being taken to prevent its spread, notwithstanding its origin, is declared a public nuisance by reason of its menace to life, forest resources or property. The spread of fire in forestland across an ownership boundary is prima facie evidence of fire burning uncontrolled.
