The Dalles Unit of the Oregon Department of Forestry says open burning will be prohibited in Wasco County beginning June 1.  The move is being made in coordination with the County and its Fire Defense Board.  Low snow pack and limited spring moisture have contributed to unseasonably dry wildland fuel conditions, prompting fire managers to implement the annual burn ban a month earlier for lands in Wasco County.  The Dalles Unit Wildland Fire Supervisor Kiel Nairns says they would like to see landowners take advantage of recent rain, and more forecast precipitation, to complete any debris burning before warmer and drier weather returns.  Landowners choosing to burn in coming days are reminded to use appropriate safe burning practices.  Burning of logging slash and debris from forest operations is not allowed at this time.  For further information, call the ODF’s office in The Dalles at 541-296-4626 or go to ODFcentraloregon.com.
