ODF Reduces Fire Prevention Restrictions On Lands In Central Oregon District

The Oregon Department of Forestry is reducing fire prevention restrictions for lands within the Central Oregon District as of Thursday.  Lands affected include private, county, and municipal lands inside the Central Oregon District Protection Boundary that includes Wasco, Hood River, and Sherman counties.  ODF officials say the lessened restrictions reflect a reduced potential for large fire growth based on current fuel conditions, improved humidity recovery, shorter burn periods typical in fall, and the current weather forecast for cooler temperatures and increased precipitation.  Industrial Fire Precaution Level for Wasco and Hood River counties remains at Level 2.  Burn bans and local county or fire department restrictions remain in effect.  High risk activities identified in the Regulated Use Closure will be restricted between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.
