ODF Moves Industrial Fire Precaution To Level 3

Industrial Fire Precaution Levels for Oregon Department of Forestry lands in Hood River and Wasco counties were reduced to Level 3 Monday morning.  That allows industrial operations to resume, but operators must follow restrictions including suspension of most activities between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. and conducting a firewatch following daily operations.  ODF The Dalles Unit Wildland Fire Supervisor Kiel Nairns says some rain over the weekend was welcome, but it was not a fire season-ending event.  A regulated-use closure remains in effect for activities such as mowing of dry grass, chainsaw use, and open fire restrictions.  The closure also requires those traveling on forest roads to carry a shovel and a fire extinguisher, or one gallon of water.  Visit www.odfcentraloregon.com for full details.  The public is asked to be aware of any actions which could cause a wildfire.
