The Oregon Department of Forestry’s Regulated-Use Closure in the Central Oregon District that includes Hood River and Wasco counties will be terminated at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday morning.  Fire managers say recent cooler weather and widespread precipitation across the district have reduced the risk of rapid fire spread and these prevention measures are no longer necessary.  In addition to the removal of the Regulated-Use Closure for the District, the Industrial Fire Precaution Level east of Highway 35 will be reduced to Level 1.  Fire season remains in effect, with open burning and debris burning without a permit prohibited on ODF protected lands.  Additional county or local fire department restrictions may also be in effect.  While campfires and warming fires are allowed, the public is reminded to never leave a fire unattended, clear the area around the fire of flammable material prior to lighting and keep the fire small.  Having a shovel and water nearby are also safe practices to limit risk of the fire escaping.  Current restrictions can be found at ODFcentraloregon.com.
