Forest Service Expects Fire Restrictions To Increase

The Forest Service says fire restrictions are likely to increase in the coming weeks.  Low spring rainfall has resulted in abnormally dry conditions as hot temperatures persist across the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region.  The Northwest Coordinator Center Predictive Services Outlook shows the Northwest has experienced drier-than-normal conditions over the past several months.  This dryness, combined with record and near-record heat, has resulted in excessively dry vegetation in many areas.  To mitigate risks, the Forest Service is encouraging the public to help prevent human-caused wildfire starts.  To report a wildfire, call 911.  Keep an eye on smoke forecasts and plan outdoor recreation accordingly, and stay informed of fire restrictions and closures before heading out
