Campfire Ban East Of Interstate 5

Starting Thursday, no campfires will be allowed in Oregon state parks and in state-managed forests east of Interstate 5, even in designated campfire areas.  The Oregon Department of Forestry and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department say this includes charcoal fires, cooking fires, warming fires, charcoal briquettes, pellet grills, candles, tiki torches and other devices that emit flames or embers.  Portable cooking stoves or propane lanterns using liquefied or bottle fuels are allowed, though propane fire pits are not.   This ban covers all state-managed parks and forestlands east of Interstate 5, and includes prohibitions on fires in designated fire rings.  The agencies say the public can also anticipate restrictions in other areas based on fire danger.  Restrictions may increase as fire danger rises in other parts of Oregon and will remain in place until conditions moderate.  State agencies strongly encourage checking fire danger levels and associated restrictions in a given area before traveling and daily during a visit.
