Fire Season for lands protected by Oregon Department of Forestry’s Central Oregon District terminated at noon Monday.   This includes lands protected under The Dalles, Prineville, and John Day Units.  Recent rain, combined with cooler fall weather has improved fuel conditions and moderated fire behavior, but ODF officials warn changing fall conditions such as dry periods and variable winds can still create circumstances where fire danger is increased, and the public is reminded to use caution in activities such as debris burning and mowing of dried grass.  Burning of slash piles or other debris from forest operations or fuels treatment projects will not be permitted until additional precipitation is received.   All slash burning from forest operations requires a permit from your local ODF office.  Check with your local fire district or ODF office for burning regulations in your area, to see if debris burning is allowed or not, including restrictions on campfires and recreational fires.  In The Dalles Unit, a burn permit from ODF or your local fire department is required for burning yard debris or using a burn barrel.
