Fire Season Begins Friday

The Oregon Department of Forestry’s Central Oregon District, including Hood River and Wasco counties, will enter fire season Friday at 12:01 a.m.  District Forester Mike Shaw says fuel conditions and drier and warmer long term weather forecasts prompted the declaration.  He adds fuel conditions are drier than they were at this time last year.  With the implementation of fire season, logging and other industrial operations must meet requirements for fire prevention, such as fire tools, water supply, and watchman service when those operations are occurring on lands protected by ODF.  In addition to fire season restrictions Industrial Fire Precaution Level 1 will be in effect for lands protected by ODF in Hood River and Wasco counties.
