The Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Central Oregon District’s The Dalles and Prineville units will terminate their regulated-use closures as of 12:01 Friday morning, but fire season will remain in effect.  ODF officials say recent precipitation, cooler temperatures, and increased humidity has significantly reduced fire behavior and ignition potential from sparks and other heat sources, but the public is reminded to be attentive to activities which could start a wildfire.  Burning of slash piles or other debris from forest operations will still not be permitted.  Burn barrels and burning of small piles of yard debris may be allowed by permit from your local fire department or ODF.  Campfires, warming fires, and cooking fires may be allowed with the termination of the regulated-use closure, and activities such as mowing of dry grass, non-industrial chainsaw use, and cutting and grinding of metal will no longer have restrictions such as timing of activities or firewatch requirements.  Fire Season restrictions banning the use of exploding targets and tracer ammunition are still in effect.  ODF protected lands within Hood River and Wasco counties, are in an Industrial Fire Precaution Level 1.
