Lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry in Hood River County will enter a modified burn ban on Saturday.  The modification to the current burn ban allows for burn barrels and small debris pile burning to take place between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m.  All fires must be fully extinguished by 11 a.m.  As always, any burning requires a current burn permit.  Grounds protected by Oregon Department of Forestry in Wasco County continue to be in a strict burn ban.  This means there is no burning allowed in burn barrels nor debris piles until the ban is fully lifted.  Cooperating fire agencies in Wasco County are monitoring the weather and fuel moistures closely to ensure the burn ban is lifted when conditions will safely allow it.
