Recent cool temperatures and precipitation have brought an end to the 2019 fire season for the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Central Oregon District as of Thursday morning.  ODF officials say wildland fuels across the district do not pose a significant risk of rapid fire growth, but they also note weather and fuel conditions during the fall can change quickly.  The public is reminded to follow all local burning restrictions to reduce the risk of escaped debris burns.  Landowners who plan to burn industrial logging slash, fuel reduction or defensible space materials, or other debris from forest activities should contact their local ODF Office to obtain a burn permit.  On ODF protected lands in Wasco and Hood River counties, small yard debris piles and burn barrels are allowed from dawn until 11:00 a.m.  Burn permits are required by ODF.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue has opened outdoor burning within the fire district but only outside The Dalles city limits.  Residents within the city limits must wait until October 16th as required by municipal ordinance.
