Both the Mount Hood and Gifford Pinchot National Forests are increasing fire warnings with the arrival of extreme heat in the region.  The Industrial Fire Precaution Level is being moved from Level I to Level II in both forests.  For the general public that means chainsaw use is prohibited between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., and operators are required to keep a one-hour fire watch after any cutting.  Fire danger is considered high throughout the Mount Hood forest and moderate in the Gifford Pinchot.  As the summer season progresses with continuing warm dry weather, the public is encouraged to be careful with campfires in national forests.   Anyone tending a campfire is required to have a shovel and plenty of water on hand.   Before leaving a campfire unattended, the fire should be drowned with water, stirred, and be cold to the touch.
