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.
